The full story
Why Rick Case Kia earned this grade
Between August 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 21 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
4 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $899, their doc fee sits at or just under the FL average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Add-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 10% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,231 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 4 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,570 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
