The full story
Why Bill Luke Santan earned this grade
Between December 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 46 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
3 thingsQuoted add-ons are the exception
Only 20% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $137. Most shoppers here never see one.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 12 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $570 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
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$699 is $115 above the AZ average of $584. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
