cons of buying online?
 
GA brz prices are pretty high. Clint and a few other places offer way better prices, but i've never messed with online ordering for cars... whats the pros and i guess cons?

I have never bought a car online, always at a dealership. I bought my car through Clint.

Seriously, it is an awesome experience I would doubt you would be able to get a BRZ anywhere close to what Clint does. If you have a trade in, that may be a problem. However, I had talked to Clint and if it came down to trading in my car, they would give me a rough price and I could drive it there to trade it. Then you would bypass shipping :)

Pro: Better price
Con: Travel or shipping expense

Pro: Find a store with exactly what you want
Con: Not all stores like dealing with out-of-town buyers and if they screw up your paperwork it might be a headache.

You should talk to @HeubergerMotors aka Clint, he specializes in this sort of thing.

Thanks guys and Michael keeps being a downer debby.

Lol!

Shipping is dependent on how many dealers contribute a car to a specific area for a specifics
Area.

California and Texas are quick!

But I can help you out!

If you do your research and go with a reputable person like Clint from Heuberger the CONs are drastically reduced. If you find some random person whom no one has ever heard of then it would be bad. I can thus far vouch for Heuberger's Clint/Gary/Jim... All class acts and yes I would buy my cars online again with these guys. Even with Shipping no one else can touch their prices.

And for the OP, just for a reference, my OTD price was still much lower with the shipping included.

The reason I rave about it so much was because the prices were so high around my area when I was interested, I was nearly about to look at other cars. However, Clint made it possible to get me in the car.

I don't really consider any cons from me :). People complain when they don't make logical sentences when asking questions and or too apprehensive to call me. That makes if difficult if anything I'm always customers side.

When I save members 2,000-8,000$, give my members a gift card, plus answer outside my hours be it 12:00 Am or. 1 am. I don't think people realize how much I do when I amplify that by thirty customers.

I treat everyone as if it were me and that's why I take pride in making it easy.

All that I ask is for a simple review :)

Any questions you're more than welcome to call me.

I bought a car from Clint. It was easy and smooth I would do it through him if you are trying to find a car at a reduced price. You can always call/text him anytime during the process to find out what's going on. I Highly recommend it, tons of people have had great experiences from him.

I bought a used Miata in San Diego on ebay and a used Harley Davidson in Cookeville, Tn. on ebay. Both were fantastic buys. I didn't consider the expenses incurred to fly and pick up both vehicles and drive/ride them home in the cost of the vehicles. I considered those costs as the price of two neat mini-vacations. It's pretty cool to fly and only have to drive/ride one way.

Buy a ticket and fly back home. You've just had a small, interesting adventure.
