The full story
Why Stoler Chevrolet Buick earned this grade
Between October 2025 and July 2026, 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
2 thingsDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $753 below the MD average of $753. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
Add-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 25% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $2,995 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 9.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,220 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.
