The full story
Why Subaru South Tampa earned this grade
Between December 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 13 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 thingsNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 13 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 2.1% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,465 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 significantly inflated
$1,195 is $203 above the FL average of $992. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
