Truecar 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.

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.

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!

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.
