The full story
Why Autonation Chevrolet North earned this grade
Between September 2025 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 12 verified deals with this dealership.

Then we graded them the way a friend in the business would: on the things that actually cost you money.
! Where to push back
3 thingsDoc fee is slightly padded
$799 is $103 above the CO average of $696. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
Add-ons show up on most deals
42% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,648. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.
TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 7.1% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,485 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.
