The full story

Why Criswell Maserati earned this grade

Criswell Maserati has 3 verified quotes from December 2025 through January 2026. This small sample covers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and how clearly charges were shown.

What they do well

No specific pricing strength stands out in these quotes.

Where to push back

Average confirmed dealer fees were $1,637 across the 3 quotes. The Median state fee in Maryland was $800—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample—and 2 of the 3 quotes exceeded it. All 3 quotes lacked fully itemized dealer fees, and 2 showed a single unclear combined-fees amount. That does not establish an extra charge, but it makes the total harder to assess. Before agreeing, ask for an itemized written quote that breaks out each dealer fee and separates taxes and government charges. Ask what each combined amount includes and whether any fee is negotiable.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Criswell Maserati in Germantown, MD, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
