The full story

Why Chapman earned this grade

Between January 2026 and February 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.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$589 is $189 above the national average of $400. 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.

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 3.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,120 in extra fees or markup.

TipGet an OTD quote in writing before you visit. Compare it to the listing — if there's a gap, ask them to account for every line.

What they do well:Nothing stands out as a strength in this data. That's the finding.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Chapman, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes 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.
