The full story
Why Select Auto Imports earned this grade
Between December 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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
1 thingNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 5 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$995 is $132 above the VA average of $863. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.6% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,260 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
