Most dealers won't accept TruCar relationships for that very reason, and any salesman who matches their pricing is going to be out of a job unless he makes the lost profit and costs back on the trade. The opinions given above who suggest otherwise don't know the industry. CarMax is also notorious for lowballing trade-in values and only beat dealers by a small amount statistically. (When between labs I stay busy with a seller's license, I'm GMC and Ford Certified.) If you need to buy a vehicle, get your advice from Consumer Reports. Getting it from where you are reading this right now is not the place.
I'd just as soon read about real life experience's on this forum, and glean from there than trust a rag like Consumers report:R IF I'd listened to them, I'd NEVER owned a Jeep!!Better yet, probably not a Dodge/Ram!! I've owned Jeeps since 1980, and NEVER had an issue. Jeep Wranglers, Jeep Grand Cherokees, Patriot's a Compass and several Cherokees...in my instances....they were DEAD WRONG....as they usually are...No probe with my trucks since 2010 either.
I've purchased almost every car that I've owned since 1994 from the same dealership...Ordered several...was given a trade in price, in writing, which wouldn't lower, unless truck was wrecked...NEVER paid anything down to make the order...Trade in was more than fair, (at almost 66 years of age and having purchased quiet a few cars/trucks sine 1970...I've learned quite a bit over the years and done the research..As stated..if you don't like the deal....walk-away....
