The full story

Why Onyx Automotive earned this grade

Between May 2026 and May 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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

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."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$849 is $522 above the NE average of $327. 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.
