$499 fee itemized inside the displayed price on the store's own stacks (MSRP $33,400 + $499 = $33,899, verified), while the same vehicle page's footer states a 'Dealer doc fee of $459 in Massachusetts… not included' and the site disclaimer says $499 included — two amounts in the same fee band, so the grade rests on the stack figure.
