The full story
Why Apple Honda earned this grade
Apple Honda’s 7 verified quotes reviewed by CarEdge were from December 2025 through September 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were itemized. All 7 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees, averaging $875.29.
Where to push back
Average confirmed dealer fees were about $75 higher than the $800 Median state fee in Maryland, the middle fee amount in the monthly state reference. Only 1 of the 7 quotes exceeded that reference. Ask the dealer to explain each fee and whether any can be removed.
One quote did not clearly show taxes. Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written offer that separates the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges. Compare the selling price with the advertised price.
