The full story

Why Mike Erman Toyota earned this grade

Between March 2026 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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

2 things

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$2,095 is $1,117 above the FL average of $978. 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.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 13.3% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,655 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.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.
