Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Is the "Dealer Price" quoted here on CarGurus going to be the actual price? I
realize tax, title, doc fees all get added in, but will they try to add Destination
Fee, or charge for options on top of the Dealer Price?

Dealer price is usually referred to as Asking price. Every dealer is different on what they will try to charge you as far as fees and total price. Destination fees apply to new cars. Shipping is in most cases paid by you if that will be included. So negotiate away.

I never treat the advertised price as the bottom line because I offer less. Dealers will almost always play sh*tty little dealer games so go prepared and read everything before you sign!
