The full story

Why Superior Ford earned this grade

Between January 2026 and April 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 5 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

2 things

Doc fee exceeds the state cap

Their typical doc fee of $350 is above AR's legal cap of $129. This is a red flag — every dealer in the state must stay at or below this number.

TipTell them you expect the doc fee at $129 or lower. It's not optional; it's the law.

Add-ons show up on most deals

60% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $999. Expect them to try to include something — paint protection, nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching.

TipNearly all aftermarket add-ons are optional and removable. Say "please take those off the quote" and watch the OTD drop.
