Auto Agents

Anyone ever used autoagents?

They will help you negotiate the hassle of buying a new car


This could easily save thousands in todays recession ( I hope)

so they could be worth it

Any opinions ?

are there any in Toronto ?

I don't see how much they could do for a buyer willing to do some research before they buy as well as haggling.

When we bought our current car (our first brand new one) I looked up a few different cars we would like... figured out what they were going for, what options came with them, what fuel mileage... stuff like that. Then when we went and looked and started discussing things with the dealers I put it to them simply "I am looking at other vehicles besides this one.... what's your best deal for this car with these options?" and then took those offers and decided which one we liked the best.

I don't see how an agent would do much better really, especially since they must have to be paid for their time I imagine.

I guess if somebody just wanted a new car but didn't want to spend any time looking for one (for me that's half the fun but I guess it's ymmv <grin>) then they would be useful.

I've used a broker before and found it preferable than dealing directly with car salesmen and dealer managers. I don't know if I saved much over what I could have negotiated myself after hours of research and painful (at least for me) negotiation with the dealership but it definitely made the buying experience much more pleasant for me.
