Why Sports Cars International earned this grade

Between October 2025 and October 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $200, their doc fee sits at or just under the WA average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.9% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
