| I can't for the life of me remember which options I got. I didn't know much about cars before this, so I didn't even realize that cars came with options. This is pretty much the car that I bought:

One of the first dealers I visited in person told me the sticker price of $18,050, and I didn't think much of it since I thought they would easily lower it. At the desk, they quoted the sticker price and wouldn't budge until we walked out and were already halfway down the driveway, then whispered a price of $16,800. Second in-person dealer, my dad called a friend and asked for a dealer recommendation. He went up to him and talked about all their mutual contacts and asked for his best price and was quoted $16,400 and that he couldn't go lower than that. I sent a counter offer to one of my Carwoo dealers and got my car for $16,200. I also got a $1,000 college graduate rebate (which I would've gotten at other dealers too). To skip all that running around and haggling, I would feel more at ease sitting at my computer and clicking "Accept deal" and paying the $49 for the service. Edit: Before using Carwoo, I tried to get a quote from a local dealer through their website. I guess I skipped some fine print because they ended up leaving me voicemails and emails for the next 2 months. |
