The full story

Why Clark Nissan Abilene earned this grade

Between June 2026 and June 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.

✓ What they do well

1 thing

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 1.5% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $520 is above TX's legal cap of $225. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $225 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

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.
