Dealership woes

[CooterK]

If you have USAA there is the car buying service and dealers compete to give you a good deal. My dealership doesn't participate but if you bring in your price guarantee they will match or beat the price. If you use a registered dealer you do get a little bit more of a break on the interest rate. I don't know if that is an option for the OP, but it could be for someone.

I tried using the USAA car buying service, which goes through Truecar. Basically I just got dicked around to no end. The service hooked me up with 3 dealers, none of which would even give me a guaranteed price, all they wanted was for me to come into the dealership blind and negotiate. As far as I'm concerned you are better off just sticking to emailing without using USAA.

Out the door with X-Plan, 750 cert, 500 rebate, and 500 student rebate = 38,388 ish with a possible additional 500 for next year rebate which would give me 37,888 ish out the door

Right now my current best offer from a dealer is 39,800 out the door.

From my understanding, the X-Plan price is fixed? What I mean by that is, say I go with my current best offer of 39,800 - would I be able to throw X-Plan discount on top of that or would it be more of a clean slate ending up at 38,388ish possible 37,888ish out the door?



Appreciate any input.

I just did X plan today, and the starting net price for my particular dealer was fixed, but they wiggled a little bit on the options that I wanted. So I ended up beating X plan net pricing by a few hundred bucks.

Sorry to hear. I guess these quotes don't hold up everywhere, but here they do. One of my buddies just bought an EB stang and the MSRP was around 36k and he got it for around 33 plus ttl.

MSRP on my car was 45,885.00. I got x-plan pricing and $2250 in rebates. Between those 2, I saved $5176. I am beyond happy

Report the dealers to USAA. Honoring the TrueCar price is the entire point. If the dealer won't do it then they shouldn't be participating in the USAA car buying program.

2 out of 3 dealerships that it connected me with just said "dealer will contact you with your price" and when they contacted me they wouldn't even talk price until I got into the dealership. The other one had a price but was quick to mention the price was on in stock cars only, which they didn't have, and that an order or dealer trade would be extra.

2250 in rebates? The most I can get is 1000. Where's the extra 1250 coming from?

Those of us who got our cars early got hosed! People now are getting rebates and discounts. I luckily had a A-plan but the extra $1000 that started last month would have been great!

Paying full "asking" price for a car is insanity in my mind. Even for something brand spanking new.

As I said, I have A-plan so I was still further below sticker than anyone has posted but the $1000 rebates/incentives available now can be added on top of that which would have been nice.
