The full story

Why Richfield Bloomington Honda earned this grade

Between November 2025 and May 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

2 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 18% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,494 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.7% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $463 is above MN's legal cap of $125. 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 $125 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Richfield Bloomington Honda in Minneapolis, MN, that has meant 11 verified OTD quotes across 2 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.

30%

How often does the dealer try to stick on paint protection, theft deterrent, or nitrogen tires? And when they do, how much do they cost you?
