The full story
Why Maserati Of Monmouth earned this grade
Between August 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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.
! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$995 is $284 above the NJ average of $711. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
Mandatory add-ons show up on most deals
33% of quotes include add-ons presented as non-negotiable. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $1,597. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipAsk which items are genuinely required and which are dealer-added. Anything not required by the manufacturer or the state is worth pushing on.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 9.1% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,185 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
