The full story
Why Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert earned this grade
Between August 2025 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 26 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
3 thingsNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 26 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.9% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 6 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,780 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
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$699 is $102 above the AZ average of $597. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
