! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
67% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,240. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 3.1% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,085 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.
