The full story
Why Vic Vaughan Toyota of Boerne earned this grade
Between September 2025 and March 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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
1 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $232 below the TX average of $232. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
2 thingsAdd-ons are baked into almost every deal
83% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $3,374. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.
TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 11.6% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,060 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.
TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
