if you've bought a car in teh last year or so. ...
We haven't bought a new car since 2008 and I feel like things have changed. ..
I thought when we bought DH's car in 2008 that I did the "internet sales" thing and basically submitted what I wanted on line from different dealers and then got replies from them w/ firm, non negotiable quotes. We've tried doing the same thing this time, and we keep getting back emails from salesman trying to get us to come in and look, but the won't include a quote or if they do, they're jsut quoting us the sticker price.
Do they not do internet sales anymore w/ lower prices?
Re: if you've bought a car in teh last year or so. ...
huh. I bought a car in January and I got several quotes online, printed them out, and brought it with me when we looked at them.
we actually got a seriously good deal on my car because he mistakenly quoted me by email the price of an older, lower trim level vehicle also on the lot. we ran in there quick with quote in hand and they realized they messed up but they had to honor it....hehe!

We just bought a new van in January. DH knew what model we wanted and negotiated everything by email before we would even go into a dealership. At one point, he did talk (via phone) to two different sales managers (each was vying for our business), and we went in person to the dealership that gave us the best price.
Eeven with negotiating it all ahead of time, we were still there for four hours checking out the van, test driving it, signing papers, etc. UGH!
I had to buy a new one the week before x-mas. I searched online for the type and price range I wanted, found one with Toyota Carmax, went there, liked it and bought it.
In the future I will probably check Carmax directly, their prices are extremely competitive, they gave us a great deal for my broken van and the entire transaction was a breeze
