! Where to push back

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 58.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $20,370 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.

✓ What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.

For Smith Motor Sales of Haverhill in Haverhill, MA, that has meant 1 verified OTD quotes logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
