The full story
Why Criswell Nissan earned this grade
Criswell Nissan had 2 verified quotes reviewed from March through August 2026, a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ One quote came in below the ad. A written quote listed a vehicle selling price of $36,195 against an advertised price of $36,745—$550 lower.
Where to push back
One of the two quotes did not fully itemize dealer fees. The other showed $800 in confirmed dealer fees; the Median state fee in Maryland was also $800, the middle fee amount in the eligible Maryland quote sample. Ask for a line-by-line written fee breakdown and confirm what each charge covers before agreeing. Request an itemized written offer listing the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
