The full story

Why Maple Shade Mazda earned this grade

Between August 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 32 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

4 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$489 is $222 below the NJ average of $711. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 9% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $898 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

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."

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 6 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $742 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.

TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.

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 Maple Shade Mazda in Maple Shade, NJ, that has meant 32 verified OTD quotes across 6 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.
