The full story
Why Crews Subaru of Charleston earned this grade
Between September 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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 thingNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 3 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$587 is $65 above the SC average of $522. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 14.6% above the advertised listing — roughly $5,110 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.
