The full story
Why Buhler Hazlet earned this grade
Between December 2025 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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
4 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $790, their doc fee is within $50 of the NJ average of $740. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Mandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 17% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $63. Most shoppers here never see one.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.1% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $992 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.

For Buhler Hazlet in Hazlet, NJ, that has meant 6 verified OTD quotes across 3 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.

Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy
30%Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.
