Why Prestige Lexus of Ramsey earned this grade

Between October 2025 and November 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 2 verified deals with this dealership.

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 things

$0 is $707 below the NJ average of $707. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.0% 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.
