Not a Sucker
GBTruecar is worthless How can anyone give this scam site more than 1 star, although 0 is more appropriate. You put in your requirements, they tell what dealers have regardless of whether it’s a good match or not. Then the dealer adds on all kinds of BS charges like $1149 dealer prep, $999 ceramic coating and my favorite nitrogen filled tires. Hello, air is 80% nitrogen. I just got a quote from Truecar for $38,760 for a car. The dealer added on $3,000 in BS charges - that’s 8% of the original quote. Absolutely worthless.

GBThe car pricing is high and inaccurate This year I planned to buy a couple of cars to upgrade. I bought the first with the help of TrueCar. Now, trying to buy the second one, I started off not using TrueCar. Then, I decided to use TrueCar to get deals. Came to find out, the pricing on TrueCar is higher than the window sticker price. I also just realized that the first car I bought this year reflected with dealer's add-ons on the purchase order. Not sure what is going on, but it gives the impression that TrueCar is not on consumer's side trying to save money in car buying experience.

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.

GBPricing transparency!! Not even close Pricing transparency!!! Until you are ready to buy and made arrangements. Suddenly the price goes up $5,000 from what was quoted. As dealer add market adjustment and other accessories fees. Totally inaccurate pricing info just to bait consumers.

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!!!
