The full story

Why Paragon Honda earned this grade

Between October 2025 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $175, their doc fee sits at or just under the NY average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Mandatory add-ons are the exception

Only 17% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $1,395 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.8% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Paragon Honda in Woodside, NY, that has meant 6 verified OTD quotes across 2 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.

Fee Transparency

30%

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 stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.

Data Quality

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
