The full story
Why Kunes Ford of East Moline earned this grade
Kunes Ford Of East Moline has a B grade based on five eligible quotes from May through September 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
No specific pricing or fee-transparency strength stands out in these quotes.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were $676.03 across the five quotes. The Median state fee in Illinois was $397.13, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample; three quotes were above that reference. Three quotes also showed a single unclear combined-fees amount and did not fully itemize dealer fees. Ask the dealer to break out those charges and provide an itemized written offer before you agree. An unclear combined amount alone does not establish that a charge is improper.
