The full story

Why Ed Morse Sawgrass Automall earned this grade

Between August 2025 and April 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

1 thing

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$999 is $21 above the FL average of $978. 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.

Add-ons show up on most deals

36% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $4,588. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.

TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
