The full story

Why Morrie'S Auto Group earned this grade

Between October 2025 and October 2025, 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.

What they do well

3 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 24% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $952 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.6% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 9 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,310 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 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$350 is $72 above the IN average of $278. 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.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Morrie'S Auto Group in South Bend, IN, that has meant 1 verified OTD quotes across 9 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.

Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer try to stick on paint protection, theft deterrent, or nitrogen tires? And when they do, how much do they cost you?
