The full story
Why Steff Motors earned this grade
In August 2026, Steff Motors (grade A) had 1 verified quote reviewed by CarEdge. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown; this is a small sample.
What they do well
The quote did not show a charge for required extras. One quote is limited evidence, and it does not establish what other offers may include.
Where to push back
The quote showed $944.75 in dealer fees, about $78.63 above the Median state fee in NC ($866.13), the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. The fees appeared as a single combined amount rather than being fully itemized, and government charges were not listed separately. Ask for an itemized written quote and confirm whether government charges are additional before agreeing.
