1 thingA lot of data, which is itself a sign
We have 25 verified quotes from this dealer — enough to trust the pattern. Transparent dealers tend to quote openly, which is how we collect this much data.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$799 is $184 above the CO average of $615. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Add-ons are baked into almost every deal
100% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $401. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything, and ask them to justify every "required" charge in writing.
