The full story
Why J Star CDJR earned this grade
Between September 2025 and September 2025, 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 thingDoc fee is genuinely reasonable
$0 is $400 below the national average of $400. That's money you keep — most dealers in their market charge more.
! Where to push back
1 thingListing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 20.0% above the advertised listing — roughly $7,000 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.

For J Star CDJR, that has meant 2 verified OTD quotes 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.
