The full story
Why Berge Toyota earned this grade
Between October 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 30 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
1 thingShoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 4 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $4,508 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
3 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$695 is $130 above the AZ average of $565. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
57% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable, averaging $4,021. 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.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 8.7% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,045 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.

For Berge Toyota in Mesa, AZ, that has meant 30 verified OTD quotes across 4 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
