It doesn't look like anything I would pay for, considering that most or all of the info is available for free, online. Edmunds has all the pricing info, and an excellent guide to negotiation. Your bank may offer its own negotiation service (I know mine, USAA, does), which will get you a great price without all the hassle. The last time I bought a new car, I used Autobytel, and if you have a good dealer nearby, that process is a breeze. I got my Maxima for $300 below invoice, and the entire negotiation took less than ten minutes. I can't tell how much FC costs (their web site seems to be badly broken), but I can't imagine paying any real money for this.
well i have been doing a ton of reading on tips for bargining...i have priced a new car on edmunds and it seems to be roughly $29,295 for the version we kinda liked and the extras on a 2004 4runner
well the MSRP is 31,800 on most of the stickers at the dealer...
now i have never experienced buying a new car...we are very serious and want to get something soon
when you go to the dealer contact person and start to haggle...what are some good ways to get the process going ? i know they mess with you the entire time and give you a song and dance....
do you play the game ?
or
just give them the price you are willing to pay...(the price on edumds.com)
for instance "the highest we are willing to go is $29,295...and not a penny over"
and then they probably come back and say...no that is too low...
do ya just walk ?
if anyone has some experiences at this i would greatly appreciate it...i feel like such a uber dork about asking but i think it would help just to hear how others handled these guys
thanks
