The full story
Why Mazda Of Palm Beach earned this grade
Between July 2025 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 13 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 thingShoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $808 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
3 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$999 is $74 above the FL average of $925. 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.
Add-ons are baked into almost every deal
62% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $2,783. 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 12.2% above the advertised listing — roughly $4,270 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.
