The full story

Why Sawyer Lyons Buick GMC earned this grade

Between September 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 verified deals with this dealership.

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

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $799, their doc fee is within $61 of the NJ average of $738. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Mandatory add-ons are the exception

Only 25% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $347. Most shoppers here never see one.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.3% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,155 in extra fees or markup.

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 Sawyer Lyons Buick GMC in Randolph, NJ, that has meant 4 verified OTD quotes across 1 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.

Fee Transparency

30%

Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.

Data Quality

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
