The full story

Why Planet Mitsubishi earned this grade

Between December 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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

$0 is $781 below the NC average of $781. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 5 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 7.8% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,730 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.
