The full story

Why Danbury Auto Group Inc earned this grade

Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 15 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 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $750 below the CT average of $750. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 15 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

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 8.7% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,045 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.
