The full story
Why Walser Subaru St Paul earned this grade
Between February 2026 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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 thingsAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 25% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $399 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $175 is above MN's legal cap of $125. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.
TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $125 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.
