Score breakdown
Evidence
The $579 fee is itemized inside VDP sale prices as an 'Administration Fee,' and the stack presentation includes it in the price — but the homepage lease specials list the same $579 'documentation fee' under 'Excludes,' so the two channels contradict each other. Checked October 18, 2026.
Checked October 18, 2026Grades are scored from the dealer's own published pricing.What this dealer does well
- Itemizes its $579 fee inside the displayed sale price on its vehicle pages.
What would change this grade
- Fixing the specials fine print so it no longer lists the $579 as excluded would raise the score to 81 (B).
