The full story

Why Honda North Icl earned this grade

Between September 2025 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 18 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

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$501 is $26 above the PA average of $475. 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

50% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $366. 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.
