The full story
Why Budget Motors Reno earned this grade
Budget Motors Reno has a C grade; from November 2025 through August 2026, CarEdge reviewed 3 verified quotes. This is a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and how clearly charges are shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were itemized and below the state median. All 3 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees, averaging $472.25. The Median state fee in Nevada was $599, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
Where to push back
✓ Ask for a full breakdown of required extras. Required extras averaged $895 across the 3 quotes, and 2 did not fully itemize them. Ask what each extra covers, whether it is required for the vehicle, and to have every charge listed separately in the written offer.
Before agreeing, request an itemized written quote showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges. Compare the selling price with the advertised price.

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 Budget Motors Reno in Reno, NV, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes from the past year 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%.
