The full story

Why Honolulu Buick GMC earned this grade

Honolulu Buick GMC has an A grade; CarEdge reviewed six verified quotes from November 2025 through July 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ One written quote listed a selling price below the advertised price: $45,530 versus $47,280, a $1,750 difference.
  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly itemized in all six quotes, so buyers can see those charges separately.

Where to push back

Average confirmed dealer fees were $702.50 across the six quotes. Five quotes had fees above the Median state fee in HI, which is $595—the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample. Ask the dealer to explain the fees and whether any can be reduced before you agree. The written quote showing a lower selling price is encouraging, but confirm the specific vehicle’s price and all charges in your own itemized written offer.
