The full story
Why Casa Toyota earned this grade
Between December 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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 thingAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.3% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$449 is $87 above the NM average of $362. 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
100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,041. 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.
