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
- Get an itemized out-the-door quote in writing before you visit. If a dealer won’t send one, keep shopping.
- Ask what fees apply to used cars. Reconditioning, prep and certification fees often show up only on used vehicles.
- Ask for all dealer add-ons removed. Window tint, nitrogen and protection packages are optional.
- Get the vehicle history report and an independent inspection. A fair price on a car with problems is not a good deal.
- 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.
