The full story

Why Williams Toyota of Binghamton earned this grade

Between September 2025 and December 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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 things

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $175, their doc fee sits at or just under the NY average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 29% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $3,025 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 4.4% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,540 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.
