   I came across http://carwoo.com/blog/design-tips/ the other day, I think on a post from here but not sure. I think it speaks directly to these specific questions.

   For new cars, there's always YC-backed CarWoo, a no-hassle car buying website: http://carwoo.com/ I haven't tried it, but heard good things. For a lot of brands (especially non-luxury Japanese) new cars are cost-effective right now.

   Unfortunately, you'd also: - get spammed by those dealers in a heartbeat, for 2-12 months after submitting the lead, even if you end up buying a car! - have to manage the negotiations over email, with at least 3 dealers if you want to be sure you're getting a good price (clearly possible, but not easy) - have to compare non-standardized "quotes", some of which are nothing more than a one-liner to the effect of "I'll…

    How is it different from eBay Motors? Most of the cars have free carfax, they have cheaper pricing to get the car history and I am covered by eBay buyer protection [1]. eBay Motors: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Accord-EX-2008-honda-accord-ex...

    What's the advantage of CarWoo over Edmunds? As a comparison I looked at the 2014 version of my current car: http://carwoo.com/new-car-prices/T85363842-2014-mazda-mx-5-m... Versus http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/mx-5-miata/2014/?style=20048458... Edmunds tells me what invoice is, what MSRP is, and what most people end up paying for each of the trim levels. I don't see much information on CarWoo, other than for the base…

    Neat stuff. Some of the data seems "off", for example: https://carwoo.com/new-car-prices/M80025559-2013-mercedes-be... 4 Door Sedan S550 RWD AVG MSRP $102,604 AVG PRICE $421,414 AVG DISCOUNT -290.0% How are you getting an average price of 421k?

    That's exactly what we do ( http://carwoo.com ) and it's free to shop one car. Acting as a buyer's agent is tough as you are considered an autobroker and there is a ton of state level laws around this kind of business. Some of them are extremely archaic, but are kept in places by an extremely powerful lobby organization. If you are interested look up the battle TrueCar became embroiled in recently because of some de…

    Carwoo http://carwoo.com does something similar where the buyer submits what kind of car they're looking for, and local dealerships will submit bids, after which you can send them a counteroffer. The last time I used it was 2 years ago so wouldn't know if they've changed features since then.

    There's YC-backed Carwoo - http://carwoo.com . I believe they are quite experienced guys and have built relationships with lots of US dealers. Even though any individual won't use such a service often, each sale is quite big in absolute terms (compared to other verticals I'm considering) and a lot of people buy cars. So, it is a big market but not one I'm currently thinking of, mainly because I'm only looking at stu…
