The full story

Why Luxury Motor Cars earned this grade

Between October 2025 and February 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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 thing

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $703 below the NJ average of $703. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

! Where to push back

2 things

Add-ons are baked into almost every deal

100% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $399. This is their business model — inflate the OTD, then hope you don't line-item it.

TipDemand an itemized quote before signing anything. Every add-on is optional — refuse them unless you actually want them.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 9.7% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,395 extra on a $35k vehicle. That's a pattern, not a rounding error.

TipThis dealer's listing price is a marketing number, not a real one. Don't anchor to it — anchor to an out-the-door target.
