✓ What they do well
2 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$539 is $172 below the NJ average of $711. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
67% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $469. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything, and ask them to justify every "required" charge in writing.
