Why Fitzgerald Countryside Chrysler Jeep Clearwater earned this grade

Between September 2026 and September 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 verified deals with this dealership.

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 significantly inflated

$1,199 is $229 above the FL average of $970. That's pure margin for the dealer, not cost of service.

TipThis fee is mostly not "standard paperwork" — it's profit. Push back, or get the equivalent off the vehicle price.

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.
