! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$499 is $99 above the WI average of $400. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Quoted add-ons show up on most deals
100% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $3,986. Plan on seeing them on your quote.
TipAsk for an itemized quote before signing, and ask the dealer to confirm in writing which add-ons, if any, are required.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 14.5% above the advertised listing — roughly $5,075 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
