We 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.

Not 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.

IT’S NOT QUICK & EASY TO REVIEW CARS FOR SALE ON TRUECAR.COM For car buyers truecar.com looks good at first use, BUT BEWARE, because if you want to contact the actual seller (they are a conduit for dealers) you have to click on “get actual price” and then go through a whole process to sign up, during which you are asked to give your name, address, phone, etc. and agree to their Terms and Conditions. After that the dealer/seller calls and texts you whether you asked them to or not!! Time-consuming and irritating, when True Cars could simply put the dealer name/phone on the front page of the listing info.

Used 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).

Twice used for car & pickup purchase satisfied The dealers almost always reach out to me even if they do not have the car i am looking for. I have used TrueCar for 2 searches and purchased from dealers who responded from TrueCar. There was a challenge on my search for my 2017 Ridgeline when Jenkins Honda (Florida) did not want to honor the TrueCar price and started adding on additional fees. We resolved the situation before I walked away. It was very frustrating and time consuming to say the least.
