TrueCar?
 

Anyone use or heard of TrueCar to get a better deal on their frs?

TrueCar showed MSRP - $500 when I was shopping around, which by the dealer's word, is the "most they can take off the price" because of the Scion pure pricing.

By the way, any dealer will be glad to sell you any car at the TrueCar pricing. When you should up to a dealership holding one of their slips, you're making it more difficult for yourself to be able haggle.

I used TrueCar and saved $500 off my car, good deal at the time as everyone else was selling at retail.

its a great resource whether you buy from a true car dealer or not. they have a lot of info and you can even check areas nearby to see what markets you should be shopping in.

I used it and bought my RX, also my friend Sienna.

I save 1500 off invoice, and my friend 1800 off invoice, not just MSRP

I have a friend who retired as a Toyota car salesman. He says that True Car, USAA, Costco, etc. are good for people who aren't strong negotiators. I'm sure that most of us fit in that category when you consider we attempt to deal one day every few years and the dealerships have the experience of dealing every day.

All you really need in order to be a good negotiator when buying a car is a little bit of patience and the ability to say variations of the phrase "No thanks". ;)

I wouldn't say it is that easy

I can agree with this. When I was buying mine, I could tell my salesman was tryin to play me for a fool, thinkin I was a young buck, ready to walk out the door with the Hot Lava I test drove. When he started listening to the way I negotiated...certain things I said...certain figures...scenarios...he calmed down a bit to actually talked to me.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with my monthly payments so the salesman told me about how Scion has Pure Pricing on their cars. I simply said "Oh, okay. The Hyundai dealership is across the street, right?" His attitude did a complete 180 and he told me to give him a second and he can work something out. Don't let them fool you with that Pure Pricing scheme.

Honestly spend 50$ and get a costco card then get the costco price. It will get you close to invoice

So Pure Pricing is a gimmick and when they can't go lower than sticker, that's a lie?

You're gonna have to fight hard to get them to let off the Scion Pure Pricing.

You're better off arguing for more trade-in value if you're trading in a vehicle.

I know personally I won't be trading anything in.
