The full story

Why Mercedes-Benz Of Plano earned this grade

Between October 2025 and July 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 15 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

4 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$0 is $229 below the TX average of $229. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 13% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $7,198 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.7% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $5,441 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:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
