The full story

Why Phillips Chevrolet of Lansing earned this grade

Between October 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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

4 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $377, their doc fee is within $7 of the IL average of $370. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 11 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,173 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:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.

For Phillips Chevrolet of Lansing in Lansing, IL, that has meant 11 verified OTD quotes across 3 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.
