The full story

Why Kendall Ford of Marysville earned this grade

Between October 2025 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 18 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.

What they do well

4 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $200, their doc fee sits at or just under the WA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 22% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,043 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,296 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.

TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
