The full story

Why Castlerock Ford earned this grade

Between November 2025 and October 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 26 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

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 0.7% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

Shoppers who negotiated saved real money

Across 6 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $5,265 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

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$799 is $174 above the CO average of $625. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipFactor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.

Quoted add-ons show up on most deals

77% of quotes include add-ons that aren't marked optional. Across all recent quotes, add-ons average $770. Plan on seeing them on your quote.

TipAsk for an itemized quote before signing, and ask the dealer to confirm in writing which add-ons, if any, are required.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

Most dealer review sites scrape star ratings and count angry posts. We do the opposite. CarEdge shops for cars alongside thousands of real buyers every week — and when we negotiate on their behalf, we capture the full out-the-door breakdown the dealer sends back.

For Castlerock Ford in Castle Rock, CO, that has meant 26 verified OTD quotes across 6 negotiated deals logged into our database. Each one is a PDF, an email, or a screenshot showing the actual doc fee, the actual add-ons, and the actual final price — not a salesperson's promise.

Fee Transparency

30%

Is the doc fee reasonable, or is it just profit? We compare it against the state average — and the legal cap, where one exists.

Add-on Behavior

30%

How often does the dealer stick you with mandatory add-ons like paint protection or theft deterrent — the kind you can't say no to? Add-ons the dealer discloses as optional don't count against them.

Price Accuracy

30%

Does the advertised listing price match what you'd actually sign for? We flag dealers whose out-the-door diverges from the listing.

Data Quality

10%

More data = more trustworthy grade. Dealers with lots of recent, complete quotes score higher for consistency.
