The full story
Why Trophy Nissan earned this grade
Between September 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 16 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 in line with the market
At $225, their doc fee sits at or just under the TX average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
! Where to push back
1 thingAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
81% of quotes include add-ons the buyer couldn't remove, averaging $1,906. 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.
