As others said, start the process with TrueCar...you'll get price quote emails from the dealers to start with, and then can shop those quotes to others. I'm not sure if you're actually around NYC, but virtually every dealership out here has a dedicated "internet customer service manager" who handles these.

Oh...$40 for a book that I have to read.....that makes buying a car much less of a PITA
It's great. Will make it extremely simple and you'll have complete peace of mindOh...$40 for a book that I have to read.....that makes buying a car much less of a PITA
im going to be completly honest, despite the guy above, it is one of the best and cheapest things you will buy to negotiate the price of a vehicle. Out of respect for that, ill paraphrase the general idea. You will want to pay the money for specific vehicle related things anywayMost car dealerships recieve bonuses for cars that they sell. Some of these bonuses are in the millions. So the idea is to contact 10-15 dealerships by phone. Be straight up with them and tell them you will be buying a vehicle by Friday. However, you are contacting a limited number of dealers and would they like to be included. Most will say yes based on past experiences. You finish up with great, ill send you.an email later today. You then send every email contact the same letter telling them you will be buying from the lowest offer and will give each dealer one chance to beat it. The price must be an out the door price will all sales tax and charges included. So if you brought cash, you would bring exact change. They will either email you a price or call. You go with the lowest one without ever stepping into a store
I did start with TrueCar, out of the ~20 Ford dealerships(looking for an explorer) in Buffalo only 1 participates with truecar. The next closest dealership is 60 miles away. I LOVE the truecar concept but it needs more dealerships to be effective(at least in my area)
We looked at the Acadia and wanted to like it, but it just felt way small. Went with the Yukon and already used to the space and wishing we had gone with the XL length (a la the suburban).
What was my number? 35400 I think. Or 34500, lol.
Great question.
Pretty much only for new
You can negotiate ANYTHING IMO. As long as you know your number. Good luck.
I would be concerned not knowing how people drive it. Some people can be hard on the engine knowing it was a rental
Maybe because its the end of the month. Also, email a dealer over the state line and tell them you did. Also tell them your wife wants a Toyota. Watch how fast they come back to you.
I think I just negotiated the best price I am going to get. It is either at or just under invoice which is all you can ask for. I need to calculate it after I close the deal
I can't even find it on teh Lougle.
I'm guessing this question is stale at this point but my extended family has purchased 10 cars from Enterprise over the last 15 years and have had great luck with them.
With you on the navigation.
I find Nav to be much better than DVD - but how old are your kids? My youngest just turned 7 but we haven't bought a DVD in 3+ years.
Let me know how she rides, price and package. The guy has been calling me non stop since I told him I wanted to drive the 16 compared to the 15. Starting to lean towards Yukon/Tahoe....
I loved it. Drove this and the 15 Acadia tonight. I like the Pilot hands down. I just looked at pricing on the website and the EX-L fits our needs best. They're not going to be a lot for sale for a while..our closest dealership said they only expect a few in July. No big deal for us, b/c I think we bought ourselves some time.
I'm going to at the end of the summer. I think it costs either $450 or $650 total from the dealer.
