Signals checked: state license (current); doc fee $499 (disclosed); outside inspection permitted, including off-site; title-in-hand ratio ~77%; after-sale terms a 30-day/1,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Finding: claims substantially verified; pricing pressure concentrates in accessory add-ons rather than the vehicle line. Negotiable, therefore noted rather than flagged.
