The full story
Why Murray Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Of Starke earned this grade
Between May 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 11 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 thingsMandatory add-ons are the exception
Only 9% of quotes include add-ons you can't decline, averaging $1,595 when present. Most shoppers here never see one.
Shoppers who negotiated saved real money
Across 3 back-and-forth negotiations we tracked here, buyers saved an average of $3,021 from first quote to final. That tells you their opening number has room.
TipNever take the first quote. Their floor is lower than what they offer on day one.
! Where to push back
2 thingsDoc fee is significantly inflated
$1,199 is $292 above the FL average of $907. 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.
Listing price and real price disagree
Quoted prices run 7.1% above the advertised listing — roughly $2,485 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.
