The full story
Why Ackerman Toyota earned this grade
Between April 2026 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 126 verified deals with this dealership. We pulled the doc fee, the add-ons, and the gap between advertised and out-the-door price from each one. Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
✓ What they do well
4 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$299 is $231 below the MO average of $530. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
No dealer add-ons detected
Across 126 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.8% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 13 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $520 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
