The full story
Why Car Land Auto Trading Inc earned this grade
Between October 2025 and October 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$695 is $101 below the NC average of $796. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 15.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $5,320 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.
