Auto Buy Program - Anyone Use It & Was It Worthwhile

You can do just as good or better on your own if you do the research and find out invoice pricing from a site like Edmunds. Go in ready not to settle for more than a few hundred over invoice and don't be afraid to walk to another dealership if needed. Randu

That's my usual approach as well. Just wondered what other's experiences were. Thanks for the feedback.

You sure you're not mixing Good Sam up with Walmart's "Sam's Club"?

GoodSam does have an auto buying assistance program. It's a new service that just started in the past few months.

Wish I would have known that a few months ago when I bought my new TV. I might have joined just for that, even with the junk mail.

I purchased two vehicles through Sam's Club and attempted a third. The major factor in the quality of the service was the participating dealer. My guess is that will be true of Good Sam's program too. The first two I dealt with ran their end as intended and it was great. The third used it as an angle to get you in the door and then started playing games.

Hopefully GS will do a better job of keeping their dealers in line than Sam's Club did.

I ask because they do have a Sam's Club "Auto Buy" Program...
