The full story
Why Honda of Olathe earned this grade
Between December 2025 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 18 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
3 thingsNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 18 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
The price you see is the price you get
Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 4 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $672 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
1 thingThey never put a doc fee in writing
Across 18 verified quotes we could not confirm a single documentation fee. Almost every dealer charges one, and the KS average is $515, so a blank here usually means the number was left off the quote rather than left off the deal. An undisclosed fee is a fee you find out about at signing, and it costs this dealer the entire fee portion of their score.
TipAsk for the doc fee as a dollar figure in writing before you go in, and make sure it appears on the out-the-door quote. If nobody will name it, treat that as the answer.
