The full story

Why Van Horn Hyundai of Fond Du Lac earned this grade

Between September 2025 and November 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 10 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 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $420 below the WI average of $420. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 10% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $700 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.0% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
