The full story

Why Sosa Automotive Group Llc earned this grade

Between October 2025 and October 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 8 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

1 thing

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 8 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$999 is $178 above the GA average of $821. 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 3.5% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,225 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.
