The full story
Why Plaza Kia earned this grade
Between June 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 2 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.

2 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$88 is $129 below the NY average of $216. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.3% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Plaza Kia in Brooklyn, NY, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes 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.
Fee Transparency
30%Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.
Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy
30%Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.
Data Quality
10%More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
