The full story
Why Fields BMW Northfield earned this grade
Between January 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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 thingsNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 6 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
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
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $395 is above IL's legal cap of $377.63. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $377.63 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
