The full story

Why Kiefer Mazda earned this grade

Between December 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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 thing

Doc fee is in line with the market

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

! Where to push back

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 9.0% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,150 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
