The full story
Why Michigan City Hyundai earned this grade
Between August 2025 and August 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 thingsAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 20% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,395 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 0.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$251 is $8 above the IN average of $243. 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.
