The full story

Why Lundgren Honda of Auburn earned this grade

Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $562 below the MA average of $562. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 5 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.9% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,365 in extra fees or markup.
