The full story
Why Ideal Hyundai earned this grade
Ideal Hyundai has an A grade. From January through October 2026, CarEdge reviewed 17 verified quotes. This review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Dealer fees were close to the state reference. Average confirmed dealer fees were $799.76. The Median state fee in Maryland was $800, the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
- ✓ One quote matched the advertised selling price closely. One written quote showed a vehicle selling price within $1 of its advertised price.
Where to push back
One quote included $899 in required extras. Ask what those extras cover and whether you can buy the vehicle without them.
Four quotes did not fully itemize dealer fees. That alone does not establish an overcharge, but ask for a line-by-line written breakdown of dealer fees, required extras, taxes and government charges before agreeing.

Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.
