Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 verified deals with this dealership.

What they do well

3 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $327 below the MT average of $327. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 3 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."
