The full story
Why Crown Honda earned this grade
Between December 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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
2 thingsMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 9% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $699 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
Advertised 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
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$1,099 is $188 above the FL average of $911. 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.

For Crown Honda in Pinellas Park, FL, that has meant 11 verified OTD quotes across 2 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
