Evidence
The store's new- and used-vehicle disclaimers state 'Dealer documentation fee of $395 is additional' to the advertised price; no VDP price stack itemizing the fee was retrievable (site blocked direct fetches). The site also discloses a separate negotiable administration fee of up to $115 that 'may be added to the price of the vehicle.' Checked October 18, 2026.

- Publishes one consistent $395 amount on new and used pages and discloses the additional negotiable administration fee openly.
What would change this grade
