The full story
Why Ron Bouchard Honda earned this grade
Between March 2026 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 12 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 thingsAdd-ons offered — none required
This dealer includes optional add-ons (avg $4,790) in 8% of quotes, but none are mandatory — you can ask to remove any of them.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $3,010 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 is slightly padded
$599 is $46 above the MA average of $553. 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.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 5.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,855 in extra fees or markup.
TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.
