Why Deacon Jones Honda earned this grade

CarEdge reviewed 2 verified quotes for Deacon Jones Honda in September 2026, a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and how clearly charges were shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were below the state reference. Average confirmed dealer fees across the 2 quotes were $799, compared with the Median state fee of $866.13 in NC. The median is the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.

Where to push back

One quote lists $995 in required extras; the other quote does not have a known required-extra amount. Ask whether the $995 in extras is included in the advertised price and whether any can be removed. Before agreeing, request an itemized written offer showing the vehicle selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges.

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 Deacon Jones Honda in Goldsboro, NC, that has meant 2 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%.
