The full story
Why Momentum BMW MINI Southwest earned this grade
Between October 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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.
✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$113 is $288 below the national average of $400. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,275. 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 4.9% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,715 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.
