Where to push back

The quote included $1,472.95 in required extras. Ask what each extra covers, whether any can be declined, and for a written offer showing the vehicle selling price, fees and extras before agreeing. The quote sample is limited, so this is evidence from one offer, not a guarantee of future pricing.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.
