The full story
Why Route 46 Nissan earned this grade
Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$999 is $286 above the NJ average of $713. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 13.4% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,690 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.
