GBNot up front pricing The whole point of the site is that you supposedly get a price that the dealer will honor when you take them your quote. Spoiler alert - they don't (honor the price). It is just another pile of people through the door for the sales guys. I am sure TrueCar is aware. Given the supposed model you would expect them to follow-up with consumers to ask if they got the promised price. But the dealers are the customers so they keep quiet and keep the checks coming in.

GBUsed TrueCar thru NFCU to research and… Used TrueCar thru NFCU to research and tentatively purchase a Toyota Tundra. The "certified" dealer in central Florida had two vehicles listed that I tried to get pre-approved for. In both cases the NFCU portal refused to proceed because the listed VIN#'s couldn't be verified. Called the dealer and was told those VIN#'s showed as invalid because they were already "reserved" for other customers. Of course, they would gladly help me find another significantly higher priced vehicle they actually had in their inventory. Not a trust inspiring experience, to say the least (both for TueCar or the "certified" dealer).

GBDon’t believe the TrueCar Cash Offer… Don’t believe the TrueCar Cash Offer service. They let “certified” dealers on their platform who offer prices within KBB traded in ranges so they look legit. Then when you accept their offer they drop the price significantly and start telling you the the new price represents the going auction price for your car AND they do drop the price without even looking it over. This bait and switch tactic is bush league. Never would have expected this from TrueCar!!!

GBWe were quoted a price on the True… We were quoted a price on the True Value website. We drove for 5hrs and rented a vehicle to get the car. When we arrived they said the car had another offer on it. This was after much communication with the True Value/dealership reps. So disappointed that Sam's Club would allow this sort of unprofessional behavior.

GBVery helpful and grateful but… Very helpful and grateful but unfortunately I'm having a hard time trying to get the new Tacoma of my choice. Our son is a finance manager at a Toyota dealership he put in a preference to Toyota for a 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 in Blue Crush and they are sending every color but blue. Its crazy but I'm hanging in there. We are also talking to other dealers. We will only buy from a dealer that is NOT charging anything over MSRP there's dealers out there you just have to find them.
