The full story

Why Capital Subaru of Greensboro earned this grade

Between September 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 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.

! Where to push back

3 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$799 is $10 above the NC average of $789. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

80% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,499. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 9.1% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,185 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.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
