The full story

Why Koons Sterling Ford earned this grade

Koons Sterling Ford received an A. From November 2025 through October 2026, CarEdge reviewed 24 verified quotes. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly itemized. All 24 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees. Average confirmed dealer fees were $995.17, just $0.17 above the Median state fee in Virginia, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
  • ✓ Written prices were at or below the advertised prices in the quotes checked. Across four written quotes with price comparisons, the quoted selling price averaged $785 below the advertised price; one was within $1 of the ad.

Where to push back

The price comparisons cover four quotes, so ask the dealer to confirm the advertised vehicle price in your own written offer. Before agreeing, request an itemized quote showing the selling price, dealer fees, any required extras, taxes and government charges, and ask whether the advertised price applies to your specific purchase.
