The full story

Why Key Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Newcastle earned this grade

Between March 2026 and March 2026, 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

The price you see is the price you get

Their quoted selling price almost exactly matches the advertised listing price. No mystery markup, no surprise "market adjustment."

! Where to push back

1 thing

Doc fee is significantly inflated

$899 is $327 above the ME average of $572. 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.

How we know this

Every number on this page came from a real deal.

For Key Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Newcastle in Newcastle, ME, that has meant 1 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.
