The full story

Why Angela Krause Ford earned this grade

Between September 2025 and January 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 24 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 $827 below the GA average of $827. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 4% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,998 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

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."

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 5 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $1,519 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.
