"How CarWoo Can Be Used To Get The Lowest Price On A New Car "
"Free From Sales Pressure Too"
If you're like the majority of people, you absolutely hate just how unpleasant the whole new car buying process is ... hours and hours at dealerships, being forced to fend off all sorts of high pressure and confusing sales tactics, uncertainty about what really is a good price and the overwhelming feeling of mistrust.
Most people rightfully dread this experience. They also don't like ultimately driving home in their new car while not really knowing whether they actually got a good deal ... or if the salesman just eventually wore them down.
Well, the internet has changed all that. New car negotiaing can now be done much more easily from the comfort of your own home or office, as well as in a way that gets far, far better results. The fact is, the best method of buying a new car today at the lowest price can be done in a much more consumer-friendly way.
First, I'm going to share with you the way I've recommended buying new cars for about the last five years. It's still very effective. But I'm also going to share with you what I believe is an even better way, the CarWoo way, which is even more painless and offers still more consumer protections.
In a nutshell, my earlier recommendation (seen here) involves getting multiple dealers to compete against each other for the priviledge of selling you a car. And it can also be done right from home via email so you can avoid almost all the dealership nighmares.
And when dealers have to compete for your business ... and they know it ... prices plunge. Buying cars below invoice, and sometimes far below, is not at all unusual if you follow the instructions given in that article. In fact, this method remains so effective that I still strongly recommend it.
That said, CarWoo has now raised the bar still further. How?
It's virtually one-of-a-kind because it makes the competitive dealer quote process totally anonymous for car buyers. In other words, at CarWoo the dealers automatically respond to your quote requests, but they have no idea who you are, where you live, your email address or your phone number. They don't know anything except that you may be interested in a particular vehicle and that they're competing against other dealers to sell it to you.
The key is that the whole process is done right online on CarWoo's web site. No phone calls, no emails, no badgering, no sales pressure.
The whole process is so simple. It's essentially 3 easy steps:
1) You go to CarWoo and simply type in which vehicle you're interested in. They ask only for your name (the dealers only get your first name), your email address (the dealers don't get this) and your phone number (the dealers don't get this) which is only used by CarWoo to send you a text message to verify that you are indeed a real person. This whole process takes less a minute, including the text.
2) The CarWoo system automatically sends your no-obligation quote request to the appropriate dealers who then begin to offer you their lowest prices. Again, there is no pressure and the dealers simply don't know who you are. All they know is you're waiting for their lowest offer.
CarWoo advises that quotes usually come in within around 24 hours, but it's much more common for them to start to come in within an hour or two. As they arrive, they're displayed side by side so they are easy to compare, including the sticker price, the dealer's offer and all additional fees and taxes so there are no surprises later.
3) Of course, you don't have to accept any offer. It's also highly recommended to click the "Send Counter Offer" button for even lower prices. You can also ask the dealer any questions you may have totally anonymously.
You can then buy the vehicle or simply walk away, none the worse for wear because you've been in total control the whole time. How's that for a switch, huh?
To get started:
So you can head over to CarWoo if you might be interested in a new car ... if the price was low enough. By the way, they used to charge $49 for this service, but now it is free. I don't know how long this will last, but I will update it here if it changes.
Like everything I recommend here, I've done this myself and can verify it works extremely well, especially when combined with the following last tip.
One other tip:
After you've submitted your request and you're waiting for the quotes to come in, pop in over at TrueCar.com to see their chart of the prices paid in your area for the same vehicle. They'll give you the sticker price, the invoice price, what they consider a "good price" and what they consider a "great price". This is a huge advantage because when you are counter-offering at CarWoo, you'll already know how low they will go.
I would also highly recommend getting additional quotes at TrueCar.com as well while you're there. The more dealer quotes you have the better. Just bear in mind that they'll know who you are and will followup with you.
Have fun turning the tables on the dealers with this ... and let me know how you do.
