Why Tim Short Ford earned this grade

What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were itemized. The quote showed $949 in confirmed dealer fees, rather than leaving the fee total unclear.
Where to push back
The quote’s $949 in confirmed dealer fees was $265 above the $684 Median state fee in Kentucky, the middle fee amount among eligible quotes in the state reference. Ask whether the dealer can reduce the fee, and request a written quote that lists taxes and government charges separately before agreeing. The quote did not list government charges separately, so confirm how those charges affect the total.
