The full story

Why Dallas Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram earned this grade

Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 6 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

Add-ons offered — none required

This dealer includes optional add-ons (avg $2,690) in 17% of quotes, but none are mandatory — you can ask to remove any of them.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $326 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.

Listing price and real price disagree

Quoted prices run 10.6% above the advertised listing — roughly $3,710 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.

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 Dallas Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in Dallas, TX, that has meant 6 verified OTD quotes across 1 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.
