It's been a few years since I bought a new car. Last time around we got a truck but my wife is a new driver and a car is much easier for her to handle, so........off to trade in the Tacoma ( )and see what we'll get instead. OK, so here's my dumb question. Can you generally find a better deal with the dealerships in the suburbs than those inside Houston? Granted, it's all part of the greater metropolitan area, but do some of these places give you a better deal than others based on location (or are they all pretty much caveat emptor)?
use car gurus it has a gauge based on the market, dont by anything less than good deal o great deal. example thats where i bought my Lexus ISF https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Camry-Houston-d292_L34369
Doubtful. It's very easy to email the internet sales department of 10+ car dealerships and compare prices these days.
It comes down to a couple things. How much is your time worth? Is saving a couple hundred bucks worth it if you are going to own the vehicle for a few years? Consider buying a few months used if money is an issue. There are a few sites that can nickle and dime you a few dollars in savings if that is what is important to you. Knowing exactly what you want helps.
