Evidence

The sitewide disclaimer on every VDP states prices include 'all costs to be paid by a consumer including $399 documentation fee'; separately, an unidentified $695 'Add-on' is baked into every price checked — the displayed price sits exactly $695 above the vehicle's Total SRP. Checked October 18, 2026.

Checked October 18, 2026Grades are scored from the dealer's own published pricing.

What this dealer does well

  • Publishes a low $399 documentation fee and states in its disclaimer that prices include it.

What would change this grade

  • Identifying or removing the unexplained $695 Add-on would raise the score to 76 (B); itemizing the $399 in the price stacks as well would raise it to 88 (A).
