The full story
Why Morgan Chevrolet earned this grade
Between September 2025 and February 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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
2 thingsAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 14% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,995 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$1,298 is $307 above the FL average of $991. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
