Evidence
Rendered new-vehicle page checked October 20, 2026: MSRP $98,155 less $15,000 of Grand Opening Savings, plus a $999 Documentation Fee, gives the terminal Sale Price of $84,154, exact. The site footer states "Advertised price excludes tax, title, license, and dealer doc fee ($999)," contradicting the stack math.

- Itemizes its $999 documentation fee inside the Sale Price.
What would change this grade
- Removing the footer sentence that says the advertised price excludes its doc fee would raise the score to 68 (C).
