Don’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!!!

Great experience with TrueCar True Car was the right balance between high margin no haggle options, e.g., Carvana/Carmax and time intensive old school option of walking car lots and haggling with sales staff to try and negotiate a good deal. The last car I purchased prior to this transaction was fully online, but was a new car. For used cars in particular, I searched all the major services and found True Car to be the best balance overall.

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.

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 just "honor our heroes" guff Not just "honor our heroes" guff. Through partnerships the military veterans incentive is a great little bonus that keeps my car shopping strictly to TrueCar. That alongside no haggle low pricing with dealerships and you've got yourself a winning formula. I actually found my last vehicle 6 years ago on TrueCar!
