Gosh, I'm not sure if I should give it since my name is in my username here. I don't want them to get angry with me because 50 people bombard them with a request to buy a 2013 at $1000 under invoice. I will tell you though that I live in Northern Virginia.

Well on another note, I am so excited about my mustang. I am driving my wife crazy with all the mustang crap i am looking at and talking about. She asked me how my excitement level compares to our marriage and the birth of our sons. To which i replied "well this might cost more".

They already have changed their business model as they were considered a "broker' in pretty much every state and were using the term "invoice" which is illegal for advertising purposes in most states. And lets talk about Mr Painter, their CEO and founder. He's a serial entrepenur. He started CarsDirect.com. Took it public, made mega millions on the stock and then sold it and got out and the stock tanked and it took the investors with it If you want, google "Truecar.com and attorney Generals" and you'll get tons of stories about them being shut down for a time being while they revamped their business model. All they did was promote a dealer to sell a car for so low, no one makes anything and several dealers fighting over nothing more than a sale with no profit. Now, Truecar.com has removed any pricing from their site. Shoppers on their site who request pricing info get a call/email from local dealers and the prices are no longer listed (according to the Automotive News article that just came out).

If a dealership sold cars at $1,000 under every time, they won't be open more than a month. Some buyers just don't want the dealer to make a penny and IMHO, that's wrong. We are a business and have the right to make a living and I have the right to make a living so I can eat. Whenever someone comes in and tries this approach with me (buying many hundreds under invoice on a new car that just released, which it doesn't happen all that often), I ask them what they do. If they say they own a business (let's say plumbing), I ask, can they re-do my entire plumbing in my house for their cost prices on labor and materials. They look at me like I'm crazy and say they have to make a profit!! Well.....why am I any different.

Larry, there are no incentives for a dealer to sell a brand new 2013 at well under invoice. Yes, there is holdback on a car and that is what the dealer uses to help fund things like floorplan, electric bills, employees salary. I'm done with the whole dealer profit discussion. Any questions on it, send it to PMs. This thread isn't going that way.

Like Truecar.com is the bible of the industry!! They already have changed their business model as they were considered a "broker' in pretty much every state and were using the term "invoice" which is illegal for advertising purposes in most states. And lets talk about Mr Painter, their CEO and founder. He's a serial entrepenur. He started CarsDirect.com. Took it public, made mega millions on the stock and then sold it and got out and the stock tanked and it took the investors with it If you want, google "Truecar.com and attorney Generals" and you'll get tons of stories about them being shut down for a time being while they revamped their business model. All they did was promote a dealer to sell a car for so low, no one makes anything and several dealers fighting over nothing more than a sale with no profit.
Now, Truecar.com has removed any pricing from their site. Shoppers on their site who request pricing info get a call/email from local dealers and the prices are no longer listed (according to the Automotive News article that just came out).

No problem. I didn't mean to stir things up. My original question was about buying a new car through the ordering process because I've never done this before. I just wanted to know if there was anything to watch out for. I'm not lying to exaggerating on the price I got and I didn't know it was THAT good a deal until people started to respond. I still didn't get my original question answered though. Is there anything I should look out for when ordering a car. Based on the price I'm getting, I would suspect there is. That's all I need to know.
