Has anyone used Nowcar.com to buy a new car online?

I'm thinking about buying a new car online from Nowcar.com and having it shipped to me. Also how do I find out next month's dealer incentives ahead of time?

It is a 4 step process
1. Buy a DeLorean
2. Install Flux capacitor
3. ???????
4. Profit

Wouldn't recommend a car shipped being how expensive it is and there may be issues. I say go in person to your local dealer. Look up car buying guides. You can easily find what A cars invoice pricing can be and you hold all the power at the dealership, not the dealer.

OP,
Just curious, what prices are they quoting you for the new car? Invoice or below invoice pricing?

In this age of email, I've found that getting a good price on a new car is pretty easy. I just email all the dealers near me that has the car I want. We'll negotiate via email only (I want it all in writing). I've been able to get invoice and usually even below invoice for the last 4-5 cars I've purchased for my wife or I in the past 10+ yrs.

So, you may not need to buy a car online and pay for shipping (unless it's free) since you can probably get a good price locally.

I'll test drive the car before I start email dealers. Or, I'll test drive it after I've made my deal with them and am at the dealership to purchase.

Test drive not really necessary. You know how to drive right?

You test drive a car before shopping for price to see if you like it. You should have that done before considering a car. Otherwise the dealers try to sell you on the feel of a car. Their job is to get your focus away from the money part of the deal. They never want you to think about the final price of the car.

Test drive means different things to different people. If you think a car is to bring you A to B...then it means little. If you want a car that moves your soul, it is important.

Either way doesn't belong in the price negotiations
