The full story
Why Toyota Of Surprise earned this grade
Between September 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 29 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 thingsAdvertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.5% 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 $3,812 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
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$592 is $18 above the AZ average of $574. 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.
Add-ons are baked into almost every deal
62% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $882. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything, and ask them to justify every "required" charge in writing.
