What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly itemized. All 12 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees. Average confirmed dealer fees were $277, compared with a Median state fee in Michigan of $280—the middle fee amount in the state reference.

Ask to compare the selling price with the advertised price.
