The full story

Why Planet Hyundai earned this grade

Between June 2026 and June 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 2 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

2 things

Doc fee is genuinely reasonable

$46 is $603 below the CO average of $649. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.8% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back:Nothing glaring. That's part of why they scored where they did.
