CARBUY.COM
www.carbuy.com
|
|
|
CarBuy.com matches new car buyers to dealers who can sell the desired car, truck, or SUV at a prenegotiated price. Coverage is spotty; we entered in a New York City zip code and were told that there are no CarBuy.com affiliated dealerships in that area. However, we were successful when we entered our own rural zip. We were asked to enter the make and model we're interested in plus our contact information. Within two hours, we received an e-mail from a not-too-local dealership urging us to come in for a test drive--but no price quote.
