THE PROBLEM
The sticker isn't the price. You carry the difference.
Dealers tack junk fees onto the worksheet — and quietly skim from your interest rate, pocketing the spread between the rate you qualify for and the rate you sign. Every line looks official. That's the point.
✕Fees appear only after you're emotionally committed to the car
✕The APR you're quoted has dealer markup baked in
✕The finance office negotiates every day. You do it every six years
That asymmetry is what we fix.
THE FIX
Three steps. No haggling required.
1
Paste the quote
Drop in the dealer's email, a photo of the worksheet, or the PDF. We read every line — even the ones in small print.
2
We grade every fee
Each charge is checked against state rules and what dealers near you actually charge. Junk gets named as junk.
3
Send the counteroffer
You get a firm, polite counteroffer with the junk stripped out — ready to paste back to the dealer.
WHAT YOU GET BACK
Every line, judged. Every junk fee, named.
Your assessment grades each line of the quote against state rules and local market data — then writes the exact counteroffer to send back, with the junk fees stripped out.
✓Price checked against listings near you
✓Fees sorted: legit, negotiable, or junk
✓A counteroffer email, written for you
✓The APR markup exposed — savings shown in monthly payments

Doc fee
$85–999
Paperwork markup. Capped by law in some states — unlimited in most. Almost always negotiable.
NEGOTIATE IT
VIN etching
$200–400
A $20 kit sold at a 15x markup. You can decline it or do it yourself.
REFUSE IT
Nitrogen tires
$100–300
Air is already 78% nitrogen. This fee buys you the other 22% and a green valve cap.
REFUSE IT
Market adjustment
$500–5,000
A surcharge for demand. Pure margin — it disappears the moment you walk toward the door.
