I recently started a similar service and quickly got out of it. Even though I was offering to negotiate deals for free there was lackluster interest. Buying a car from a dealership is painful it seems people still want to do it for the experience, or think they can do better themselves (paying a higher price in the process). I would like to know if these people are licensed brokers or how they will handle that in states that require it. Truecar has a decent system in place (although there are problems too) and I think it's hard to beat the out especially taking fees from both sides with a significant portion on the buyer.

I was not aware that TrueCar was a buying service. I'm looking for a new vehicle myself and just checked them out. Thanks for the tip!

A lot of places offer buying services as well, USAA offers one through Truecar, there's also Carvana as well. Truecar was close to what we paid though a little higher. It was a good jumping off point when comparing real life to MSRP/listing prices. If you haven't bought before, focus on the out the door price.
