The full story

Why Autonation Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Southwest earned this grade

Between November 2025 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 7 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 things

Add-ons are the exception, not the rule

Only 29% of quotes include dealer-installed add-ons, averaging $1,678 when present. Most shoppers here never see them.

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

1 thing

Doc fee is slightly padded

$799 is $179 above the CO average of $620. Not outrageous, but worth questioning.

TipAsk them to match the average. If they won't, factor it into your overall price — every dollar here is negotiable.
