The full story
Why Kingstowne Motorcars earned this grade
Between August 2025 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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 thingNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 6 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
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$1,295 is $447 above the VA average of $848. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.9% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,365 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.
