The full story
Why MINI of Knoxville earned this grade
MINI Of Knoxville has a C grade and 10 eligible quotes from June through November 2026. CarEdge reviewed these quotes, not completed purchases or negotiated deals. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Fees are itemized — All 10 quotes show fully itemized dealer fees. Average confirmed dealer fees were $776.80, below the Median state fee in TN of $829.47—the middle fee amount in the state’s saved monthly reference. Four of the 10 quotes were above that median.
Where to push back
Required extras averaged $368.70, and all 10 quotes included a nonzero required-extra charge. Ask the dealer to list each extra and whether it can be removed. Before agreeing, request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle’s selling price and compare that price with the advertised price.
