The full story
Why Hudson Nissan Of Summerville earned this grade
Between November 2025 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 27 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 thingsAdd-ons are the exception, not the rule
Only 4% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,299 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.
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 $1,351 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 thingDoc fee is significantly inflated
$769 is $247 above the SC average of $522. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.
TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.
