What they do well

2 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $749, their doc fee sits at or just under the NC average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,631. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
