✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is in line with the market
At $280, their doc fee sits at or just under the MI average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
! Where to push back
2 thingsQuoted add-ons show up on many deals

TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
The listing isn't quite the price
