The full story
Why Ray Catena Lexus earned this grade
Between September 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 24 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 thingsMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 8% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $2,324 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 6 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,918 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
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $185 is above NY's legal cap of $175. 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 $175 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
