The full story
Why Ron Bouchard Honda earned this grade
Between March 2026 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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
1 thingAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 14% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $4,790 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$599 is $30 above the MA average of $569. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 11.9% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,165 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
