The full story

Why Casa Ford Lincoln earned this grade

Between November 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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 thing

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.4% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $268 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

Add-ons show up on most deals

55% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $2,025. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.

TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
