✓ What they do well
1 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.0% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$499 is $212 above the MI average of $287. 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.
