The full story
Why Dolan Toyota earned this grade
Between October 2025 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 19 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 thingsDoc fee is in line with the market
At $600, their doc fee sits at or just under the NV average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,517 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
84% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $2,342. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 4.6% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,610 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
