The full story

Why Acura of Honolulu earned this grade

Acura Of Honolulu is graded B based on six verified quotes CarEdge reviewed from April through July 2026. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Selling prices below the advertised price in checked offers. In five written offers, quoted vehicle prices were at or below advertised prices; three were within $1, and the average quoted price was $403.60 below the advertised price.

Where to push back

✓ Dealer fees ran above the state reference. Average confirmed dealer fees were $975 across six quotes, versus the Median state fee of $595 in Hawaii. That median is the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. Ask the dealer to explain each fee and whether any can be reduced. ✓ Check required extras before committing. One quote showed $498 in required extras. Ask for an itemized written quote confirming whether those extras apply to your vehicle and are included in the quoted price.
