Free CarWoo Car Buying Service & 50% off Plus Service Plan

FAQ:

1. Is there a fee?
Not unless you are looking for more than one car. If you already know what you want, you can sign up for the free service. If you want to search for 3 more cars, the price is $49 with this deal. (instead of $99). If you sign up for the free service using the link above and later want to add cars, the $49 price will still be valid.

2. Does it work for used cars?
No

3. Do I need to give my personal information?
Yes, but the dealers won't see anything but your first name. They just know that "Jeff from Monrovia" is looking for a Camry XLE.

4. How does this compare to TrueCar [truecar.com], Costco, Etc.?
The Zag group of options (TrueCar, AMEX, Overstock, USAA, etc.) give you instant prices, but pass your information along to dealerships and don't have a mechanism for negotiation.

Costco isn't quite as transparent as the Zag sites. Each dealership that participates will have a "Costco price sheet" that may or may not be the same as the prices they submit to Zag. You have to contact Costco, they put you in touch with a dealer, and then you see the price. Again, no built in mechanism for negotiating.

Here, you tell Carwoo what you're looking for, and you have to actually wait for a dealer to come back to you within the program. The advantage is all the other dealers can see what prices you have been offered, so it operates like a reverse auction. Also, you can counter-offer from within Carwoo without actually passing along your phone number, email, etc.
