  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly listed and below the state median. All 3 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees. Average confirmed dealer fees were $399, below the Median state fee in Kansas of $599, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.

Where to push back

One quote showed $390 in required extras; that is the average required add-ons amount based on the 1 quote with a known amount. Ask which extras are required for the vehicle you’re considering and whether the price can be adjusted if you decline them. Before agreeing, request an itemized written offer and compare the vehicle’s selling price with its advertised price.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Salina Subaru in Salina, KS, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
