Find out what people are paying for their cars
Today's Consumer Web Site of the Week helps you with a major purchase: new cars.
As you might expect, Information is key for transactions such as these. What's the lowest price a customer has been able to negotiate, below the MSRP? What's the highest?
Before you start negotiating with auto finance manager, check out these sites recommended by Consumerist.com to compare prices on new cars --- what consumers have actually negotiated with dealers.
At RealCarTips.com, readers submit the MSRP of the vehicle of their choosing and the price they actually paid, for the trim line they choose, as well as other details.
OpenCarPrices.com does something similar, but it's a little more cumbersome to use.
Of course,
sites like these rely on the accuracy of the reporting. It won't help anyone if unscrupulous people submit false data that skews the analysis. But the more people that contribute, the better off we all are.
