The full story
Why Price Honda earned this grade
Between December 2025 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 13 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 thingsThe 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 4 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,845 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 exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $200 is above CA's legal cap of $85. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $85 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
Add-ons are baked into almost every deal
77% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $927. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
