The full story
Why Nate Wade Subaru earned this grade
Between August 2025 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 20 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 thingsAdvertised 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 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,425 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
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$472 is $36 above the UT average of $436. 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.
Add-ons show up on most deals
55% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $937. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
