The full story
Why Lexus Of Maplewood earned this grade
Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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
1 thingThe 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."
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee exceeds the state cap
Their typical doc fee of $350 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.
Add-ons show up on most deals
40% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,049. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
