The full story
Why Starling GMC earned this grade
Starling GMC is graded A based on 9 verified quotes from November 2025 through October 2026. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
The reviewed quotes support no clear pricing or fee-transparency strength to highlight, so ask for the details in writing.
Where to push back
All 9 quotes show dealer fees as a single unclear combined-fees amount rather than fully itemized charges. Average confirmed dealer fees were $1,394, compared with a Median state fee in Florida of $1,299—the middle fee amount in the monthly state reference. Three quotes exceeded that median. Ask the dealer to break out each fee and explain which charges are required.
One quote lists $2,244.95 in required extras. Ask what each extra covers and whether it can be removed. Before agreeing, get an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges.
