The full story
Why Sheehy Toyota Of Laurel earned this grade
Between September 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 60 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
3 thingsMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 13% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $1,132 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 8 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,615 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
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$798 is $45 above the MD average of $753. 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.
