The full story

Why Honda of Fort Myers earned this grade

Between December 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

2 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 18% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,938 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,225 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 things

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$1,298 is $314 above the FL average of $984. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.

TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 6.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $2,170 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.
