The full story
Why Baha Auto earned this grade
Baha Auto is graded B; CarEdge reviewed 9 verified quotes from April 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 clearly listed. All 9 quotes itemized dealer fees. Average confirmed dealer fees were $397.07, just below the Median state fee in IL of $397.13—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
- ✓ One quote matched the advertised price. Of the 2 written quotes checked against advertised prices, 1 was within $1 of the ad; the other listed a vehicle price $2,000 below it.
Where to push back
Four quotes show required extras averaging $1,500, and each had a required-extra charge. The extras were not fully itemized in those quotes. Ask for every required extra and its price listed separately, and confirm the total vehicle price before agreeing. Also ask for an itemized written offer showing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Baha Auto in Chicago, IL, that has meant 9 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 2 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.
Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
Fee Transparency
