Frequently Asked Questions

I used to use True Car 7 years ago for my clients when it was still good and consumer-oriented. Since then, dealers have learned how to manipulate the system to draw you into their doors through a number of classic foot-in-foor techniques. I've ditched these sites since then and learned the real numbers by working directly with General Sales Managers/Fleet Departments of dealerships. The prices I give are accurate and true.

Car buying programs like Costco's seem attractive but these are just pre-negotiated discounts arranged with local dealerships. You can beat those deals if you were to walk into a dealership yourself. Are they easy to use? Not exactly. You still have to go to the dealership to retrieve your price and will still have to face potential up-sells and bait-and-switches. Are their discounts the best? Absolutely not. Their discounts are "good," but not the "best".

Yes. I get discounted rates for extended warranties, Gap, and extra coverage. I also won't pressure you to buy any of these extra's.

Yes and yes. Manufacturer warranties are nation-wide warranties that are honored at all respective dealerships. Also, it's in a dealership's best interest to increase their service-business so they will gladly service your car. Fun fact - many dealerships make more money from their service centers than they do from their sales arm.
