The full story

Why Walser Honda earned this grade

Between September 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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 thing

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $350, their doc fee is within $22 of the MN average of $328. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

! Where to push back

2 things

Quoted add-ons show up on most deals

100% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $399. Plan on seeing them on your quote.

TipAsk for an itemized quote before signing, and ask the dealer to confirm in writing which add-ons, if any, are required.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,190 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.

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 Walser Honda in Burnsville, MN, that has meant 3 verified OTD quotes logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.

Fee Transparency

30%

Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.

Data Quality

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
