What they do well
There isn’t enough evidence in this one quote to identify a supported pricing or fee-transparency strength.
Where to push back
✓ Ask for dealer fees to be itemized. The quote showed $916 in confirmed dealer fees, $117 above the Median state fee in Alabama ($799), the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. The dealer fees weren’t fully itemized, and the quote included an unclear combined-fees amount. Ask what each fee covers and request a breakdown in writing.
✓ Confirm the required extras before agreeing. The quote included $2,005.96 in required extras. Ask the dealer to identify each required extra and show its cost on an itemized written offer. Compare the vehicle’s selling price with the advertised price before agreeing.
