1 thingAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 20% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $2,990 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$798 is $21 above the MD average of $777. 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 4.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,505 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.
