The 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.

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.

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.

I've used True Car three times I've used True Car three times. Using the program made the process of finding a new or used car easy. You have the freedom to find the car you want and can afford. There's no sales person hassling you or changing your mind out of the car you want. The program made it easy. I just helped my sister get a 2022 Chevrolet Malibu with is program and she is very satisfied and happy. TrueCar is the way to go when looking for a car.

Got approved and my credit checked but the car wasn't even available Went through the buying process and everything got approved, got my credit inquiry and the next day I got a call from the dealership letting me know they no longer where working with True Car but I could get it from them If I fly 1600 miles to get it myself and get another hard inquiry, No help from TrueCar to find another car or find options all they said was to have my credit checked for another car if interested so no thank you.
