The full story

Why Kraft Nissan earned this grade

Between October 2025 and October 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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.

! Where to push back

3 things

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,299 is $314 above the FL average of $985. 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.

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $2,345. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 6.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,170 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.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
