! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$799 is $274 above the SC average of $525. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.

TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 5.1% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,785 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
