The full story
Why Jones Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram earned this grade
Between April 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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 thingsNo dealer add-ons detected
Across 3 recent quotes, we haven't seen a single "dealer accessory," "paint protection," or "theft deterrent" line item. That is rare, and it is good.
Advertised pricing is largely honest
On average, the quoted price is only 1.2% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.
! Where to push back
1 thingDoc fee is slightly padded
$800 is $23 above the MD average of $777. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.
TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
