The full story
Why Porsche Monterey earned this grade
Porsche Monterey had 2 verified quotes reviewed from July through October 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were itemized and below the reference. Both quotes showed itemized dealer fees, averaging $85, compared with the $117 Median state fee in California—the middle fee amount in the state comparison sample.
- ✓ One price-checked written quote was below the advertised price. It listed a vehicle selling price of $80,280 versus an advertised $81,980, a $1,700 difference. Selling price is before taxes, government charges, dealer fees and extras.
Where to push back
One quote showed $7,000 in required extras. Ask what they cover, whether each is required, and whether the dealer will sell the vehicle without them. Before agreeing, request an itemized written offer showing the selling price, fees, extras, taxes and government charges.
