The full story

Why Clay Cooley Kia Irving earned this grade

Between December 2025 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 4 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

No dealer add-ons detected

Across 4 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.

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."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $232.40 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.
