The full story

Why Ray Catena Lexus of Freehold earned this grade

Ray Catena Lexus Of Freehold is graded A; CarEdge reviewed 7 verified quotes from November 2025 through August 2026. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices, and whether charges were clearly shown.

What they do well

  • ✓ Dealer fees were clearly itemized. All 7 quotes showed fully itemized dealer fees, averaging $760. The Median state fee in NJ was $799, the middle fee figure in the state reference; 3 quotes were above it.

Where to push back

Two written quotes listed vehicle selling prices above their advertised prices. The quoted prices averaged $4,079 more than the advertised prices, with gaps from $4,055 to $4,103. These are vehicle selling-price differences before taxes, government charges, dealer fees, and extras. Ask the dealer to explain the difference and honor the advertised vehicle price in a current written offer. Before agreeing, check that the offer separately shows the selling price, dealer fees, required extras, taxes, and government charges.
