The full story

Why Liberty Subaru earned this grade

Liberty Subaru is graded A. CarEdge reviewed 2 verified quotes from December 2025 through November 2026; the review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

No specific pricing or fee-disclosure strength stands out in this small sample.

Where to push back

Average confirmed dealer fees were $390.17 across the two quotes, compared with the Median state fee in IL of $397.13—the middle fee amount in the state’s eligible quote sample. One quote had a combined-fees amount that was not fully itemized. Ask the dealer to list each fee separately in writing and explain what the combined amount covers.

One quote shows $357 in required extras. Ask which items are required and whether the selling price can be offered without them. Request an itemized written offer before agreeing.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Liberty Subaru in Libertyville, IL, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes from the past year logged into our database. 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.

Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
