Why Mtn. View Ford Lincoln earned this grade
Between December 2025 and November 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 13 verified deals with this dealership.

Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$799 is $112 above the TN average of $687. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Quoted add-ons show up on many deals
38% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $902. Expect to see items like paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, or VIN etching on your quote.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 11.0% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,850 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.

For Mtn. View Ford Lincoln in Chattanooga, TN, that has meant 13 verified OTD quotes across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
