The full story
Why Rairdon's Fiat of Kirkland earned this grade
Between September 2025 and October 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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.
✓ What they do well
1 thingDoc fee is in line with the market
At $200, their doc fee sits at or just under the WA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $2,494. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 22.4% above the advertised listing — roughly $7,840 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.
