The full story
Why Zeigler Honda Of Racine earned this grade
Between December 2025 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 15 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 13% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,895 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $2,958 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$399 is $3 above the WI average of $396. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
The listing isn't quite the price
Quoted prices run about 4.6% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,610 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.
