The full story

Why Wagner Cadillac earned this grade

Wagner Cadillac received a C based on two verified quotes from December 2025 through January 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

  • ✓ Dealer fees were itemized. Both quotes showed dealer fees in full, making those charges clear on the written offers.

Where to push back

Required extras averaged $1,497 across the two quotes, and both included a required-extra charge. Ask what those extras cover and whether any can be removed. Dealer fees averaged $301.74; the Median state fee in Texas was $229.75, the middle fee amount in the state reference for that month. One of the two quotes was above that median. Ask for an itemized written offer and confirm the vehicle selling price against its 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 Wagner Cadillac in Tyler, TX, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes from the past year 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%.

30%

Are the dealer's fees reasonable? We add up every dealer fee and compare the total with the state median.
