Internet Buying Service

you can get a better deal through a dealer than truecar, costco or any buying service, they are quoting supplier price which is not invoice. secondly, if you locate a vehicle you want it's up to both dealers to negotiate what it will take to get the truck to your dealer for purchase; it's not a guarantee a truck in Ohio will make it to PA for sale.

Just read an article stating that CostCo is now the number seller of automobiles (or one should say facilitator) through their auto buying program. Perhaps buying a membership for the $55.00 would be a small investment to contain your "allergy".

I've purchased 3 vehicles through Sam's Club. The third time I learned that how well it works depends very much on whether the participating dealer wants it to work. I don't have a nearby Costco but I'd bet it's the same.

The thing that most appeals to me about Auto Authority is that I have no contact at all with the dealer.

When I got my current Ram in September/October I used the Ram web site to locate my truck based on the options I wanted. I drove over 500 miles from Fort Worth Texas to north of Springfield MO. to get it. I left my house at 2 in the morning and was out of the dealership by 11 am. Yes, that was the closest location of the truck I wanted with the options I wanted. And yes I did try to get a local dealsership to get the truck sent to me first. Long story short my local dealership after giving me the run around, told me the truck was sold so I called Missouri my self. When I got to Missouri and talked with that sales guy he said the Texas dealership was being an A hole a they refused to sell them the truck.

Over all best truck buying experience ever. Negotiated price for his truck and my trade in over the phone sight unseen and I got a better deal with him than the local guys. Props to Don Vance and jeers to Moritz

Sorry, long story short, use the GM web site to pick all the options you want and press search.

I did the same thing with my truck except my local dealer was dragging his feet and when I decide I want something I won't wait on anyone dragging their feet.

This is where we bought my wife's Chrysler T&C. We have been happy with the deal.

If you are interested in a GM vehicle, you can obtain a GM Supplier Pricing certificate from an employee. That sets the price of the vehicle, and eligible for rebates or financing.

Not sure exactly what site you are asking about, but I have used cars.com and truecar.com with some success. As well as Dave Smith and Laura GMC for comps and various local dealership sites.
