The full story
Why Colonial Subaru earned this grade
Between September 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 31 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.
