! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$998 is $161 above the VA average of $837. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
33% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $295. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 11.3% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,955 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
