Evidence

The store's main site, specials, and disclaimer state the price does not include its $699 admin fee, while the store's own Express storefront prices vehicles '(incl. doc fee)' ($29,090 + $699 = $29,789) โ€” 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

  • Publishes its $699 fee amount in its disclaimer and its Express storefront pricing.

What would change this grade

  • Making the two channels agree โ€” fee inside the price everywhere โ€” would raise the score to 70 (C).
