The full story

Why Harper Jeep Ram Chrysler Dodge earned this grade

Between August 2026 and August 2026, CarEdge negotiated or logged 3 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

Advertised pricing is largely honest

On average, the quoted price is only 2.1% above the listing — small enough to be fees, not markup games.

! Where to push back

2 things

Doc fee is slightly padded

$689 is $14 above the TN average of $675. 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.

Add-ons show up on most deals

33% of quotes include dealer add-ons, averaging $1,998. 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.
