✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $346 below the MN average of $346. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 9.4% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,290 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.
