Tips for Buying a Car in CA
- Know the dealer fees: The median CA dealer charges $117 in total dealer fees. If a dealer charges significantly more, ask which fees they will drop.
- Watch for add-ons: Only 37% of quotes from the past year here have no quoted add-ons. Review your OTD quote carefully.
- Get multiple quotes: Request OTD quotes from at least 3 dealers to compare total prices, not just sticker prices.
- Check transparency scores: Dealers with scores above 80 typically have fair dealer fees, few quoted add-ons and website prices that match the quote.
