Evidence

A new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado page on portsmouthchevrolet.com shows MSRP $60,110, a Key Discount of $6,500, a Doc Fee line of $899, and a Key Price of $48,009 after rebates, and lease fine print states the $899 doc fee is included in pricing. The sitewide disclaimer instead states the advertised price does not include any documentation charges.

Checked October 17, 2026Grades are scored from the dealer's own published pricing.

What this dealer does well

  • Fee itemized inside vehicle price stacks
  • Specials fine print names the doc fee as included in pricing

What would change this grade

  • Fix the sitewide disclaimer that says documentation charges are not included in the advertised price, contradicting the store's own stacks and specials (in-price 15 to 30 and consistency 5 to 10)
