The full story
Why Salerno Duane Ford earned this grade
Salerno Duane Ford received a D. In November 2025, CarEdge reviewed one quote, so this is a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges are clearly shown.
What they do well
This single quote is one data point and does not establish a consistent pricing pattern.
Where to push back
The quote showed $2,143 in confirmed dealer fees, compared with the Median state fee in NJ of $799. That state reference is the middle dealer-fee amount in its monthly reference. The quote also had a combined-fees amount that was unclear and dealer fees that were not fully itemized. Ask for a written breakdown of what makes up the $2,143 and for taxes and government charges to be shown separately before agreeing. The vehicle selling price was not checked against its advertisement, so ask the dealer to show both amounts on the written offer and explain any difference.

How we know this
Every number on this page came from a real deal.
Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.
For Salerno Duane Ford in Summit, NJ, that has meant 1 verified OTD quotes from the past year logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.
Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
Fee Transparency
30%Are the dealer's fees reasonable? We add up every dealer fee and compare the total with the state median.
Add-on Behavior
30%How often does the dealer include quoted add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent, the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer marks as optional don't count against them.
Price Accuracy

Data Quality
