And I might use some of the strategies suggested here. I’ve seen them in reviews but I don’t remember what was written. TrueCar is paid by the winning dealership, CarBargains is paid by the buyer. CR uses TrueCar.ĬarBargains claims that they have dealers bid to sell you are car and that TrueCar pricing from dealers isn’t as competitive. TrueCar used to provide more financial information to the buyer than they do currently. Or they don’t even have the car in stock. Too many stories of it not coming up with a great price or people going to a dealership and finding that they won’t honor the price they provided TrueCar. I’ve been reading about it this weekend and it seems to have used to be a great service but is now not so good. Most services offering to negotiate car deals for you have TrueCar at the back end. Just FYI, nothing in there for me, don’t get a dime from the dealership. If you are around me, send me a PM and I will give you the details. To give you an idea, the price I paid was $2000 less than every such website gave me. Their prices are nowhere what you can get if you talk to the dealership yourself. 4 years and 3 months now, best stress-free purchase I made so far.īTW, CR or Costco or almost every other (similar) car shopping website uses Truecar in their backend. I never saw the salesperson or the dealership. I called him up to give credit card info for booking and the car was delivered to me in CT. While it will still 500 above of my guesstimate, I didn’t haggle because he gave me his best price without a word from me (in terms of haggling). His price was the cheapest I ever got from anybody locally. I wrote him the exact details of the car I wanted and asked for his best price. I live in NY and a fellow member from NJ gave me a contact of a specific salesperson in a dealership in NH. Next, on the same board, ask if anybody knows any dealer that offers special pricing. Until this point, my car shopping experience was an ordeal. Look for such thread and find what should be the best price for the trim you are looking for. Our Forester is the first new car that I bought and I was honestly lost as nobody was budging on their pricing, only until I came across They maintain a thread for who paid what where etc.(like this one) I am sure there is such impreza board as well. I have never heard of this service before, so can not comment on that.
