The full story
Why Napleton's Mid Rivers Kia earned this grade
Between August 2026 and August 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
2 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$62 is $424 below the MO average of $486. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
No dealer add-ons detected
Across 4 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 15.5% above the advertised listing — roughly $5,425 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.
