The full story
Why Ackerman Toyota earned this grade
Between April 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 110 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
3 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$299 is $219 below the MO average of $518. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
No dealer add-ons detected
Across 50 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 0.7% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
