Evidence

$895 Doc Fee itemized inside the Cargill Price (arithmetic verified), but the site's banner states 'PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE... DEALER CONVEYANCE FEE OF $895' and the footer calls the same fee extra — contradicting the price stacks. Checked October 18, 2026.

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

What this dealer does well

  • Itemizes its $895 fee inside the displayed price with verified stack arithmetic.

What would change this grade

  • Fixing the banner and footer to match the price stacks would restore consistency; at $895 the fee level (2/30) caps the grade at C regardless.
