The full story
Why Kian Motors earned this grade
Between August 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 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
2 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $225, their doc fee sits at or just under the TX average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
No dealer add-ons detected
Across 10 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
! Where to push back
1 thingThe listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 5.8% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,030 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
