How CarEdge Ranks Used Car Dealers

Every dealer here has at least four verified out-the-door quotes for used or certified pre-owned vehicles: real PDFs, emails and screenshots from actual shoppers, not star ratings. The ranking and grade are the dealer’s published CarEdge Dealer Transparency Index grade, which weights Fee Transparency (30%), Add-on Behavior (30%), Price Accuracy (30%) and Data Quality (10%) across all of its quotes. Every doc fee, add-on and price figure on this page comes from its used-car quotes only.

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

How to Buy a Used Car Without Surprises

  1. Get an itemized out-the-door quote in writing before you visit. If a dealer won’t send one, keep shopping.
  2. Ask what fees apply to used cars. Reconditioning, prep and certification fees often show up only on used vehicles.
  3. Ask for all dealer add-ons removed. Window tint, nitrogen and protection packages are optional.
  4. Get the vehicle history report and an independent inspection. A fair price on a car with problems is not a good deal.
  5. Compare at least three dealers. Used-car doc fees in the same metro can differ by hundreds of dollars.

Rankings are generated from the CarEdge Dealer Transparency Index, a public methodology that scores dealers on verified out-the-door quotes, not Google star ratings or paid placements. CarEdge refreshes the rankings daily as new verified quotes come in.
