The full story
Why Sunset Automotive Group earned this grade
Sunset Automotive Group has an A grade based on two quotes from June 2026. This is a small sample. The review considers dealer fees, required extras, selling prices and whether charges were clearly shown.
What they do well
- ✓ Lower dealer fees — Average confirmed dealer fees were $999 across the two quotes, below the Median state fee in Florida of $1,299. That median is the middle fee amount in the eligible quote sample.
- ✓ Fees shown item by item — Dealer fees were fully itemized in both quotes.
Where to push back
The quotes do not support a conclusion about how the vehicle selling prices compared with advertised prices. Ask for an itemized written quote and compare the vehicle’s selling price with the advertised price before agreeing.

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 Sunset Automotive Group in Sarasota, FL, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes from the past year across 1 negotiated deal logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual dealer fees, the actual add-ons, and the final price against the advertised price — not a salesperson's promise.
Only quotes from the past year count. We split them into four groups, newest first: the newest counts 50%, then 30%, 15% and 5%.
