The full story
Why Anderson Toyota Lexus earned this grade
Between October 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 34 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
2 thingsAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 9 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,380 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.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$395 is $27 above the IL average of $368. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
38% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable, averaging $1,249. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
