! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $86 is above CA's legal cap of $85. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $85 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
