Score breakdown
Evidence
The store publishes a dedicated fee page ('Our Doc Fees Explained') stating '+$884 Doc Fee, +$5 Title fee = $889' — an amount the page itself dates to October 2023; the fee is charged on top of advertised prices, not included in them. Checked October 18, 2026.
Checked October 18, 2026Grades are scored from the dealer's own published pricing.What this dealer does well
- Publishes a dedicated fee page explaining its doc fee — the strongest fee disclosure in its market.
What would change this grade
- The fee itself is the problem: at $884 kept out of the price, even perfect disclosure cannot lift the grade. Putting the fee inside the advertised price would raise the score to 72 (C); the fee page's October 2023 amount should also be refreshed.
