The full story
Why Key Buick GMC Hyundai earned this grade
Between August 2025 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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
1 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.4% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$1,099 is $130 above the FL average of $969. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
45% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $1,076. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.

For Key Buick GMC Hyundai in Jacksonville, FL, that has meant 11 verified OTD quotes across 2 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
