The full story

Why Harper Infiniti earned this grade

Between July 2025 and July 2025, CarEdge negotiated or logged 1 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

Doc fee is in line with the market

At $699, their doc fee sits at or just under the TN average. Not exceptional, but nothing to fight over.

! Where to push back

1 thing

The listing isn't quite the price

Quoted prices run about 4.2% above the advertised listing. On a $35,000 vehicle that's roughly $1,470 in extra fees or markup.
