About the CarEdge Dealer Transparency Index

Most dealer rankings come from Google star ratings and Yelp reviews — easy to game, impossible to verify. The CarEdge Dealer Transparency Index is different. We score every dealer using verified out-the-door quotes: real PDFs, emails, and screenshots from actual transactions.

Each dealer’s transparency score (out of 100) is weighted across four dimensions:

Fee Transparency (30%) — Is the doc fee reasonable compared to the state average?
Add-on Behavior (30%) — How often does the dealer bundle add-ons, and at what cost?
Price Accuracy (30%) — Does the listing price match the actual OTD price?
Data Quality (10%) — More verified quotes mean higher confidence in the grade.

Grades: A (90–100), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69), F (below 60).
