Queen of the Road: Absolutely! Keep in mind that the discounted price you pay all depends on the MSRP of the Impala you’re looking at. Send me the MSRP and I’ll calculate a Selling Price.

You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.

Question From Gloria: Looking at a 2009 Malibu hybrid for my daughter. I am contemplating paying cash for it. What is the best deal I can expect?

Queen of the Road: Hi Gloria. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! How sweet of you to buy your daughter a new car. She’s much be so excited.

There is a misconception that “paying cash” gets the buyer a better deal but this is not the case.  Regardless of whether someone pays off the car immediately or finances the vehicle the dealership gets their money all the same.  That is why the price AutoBrag provides does not and should not factor in how the car is purchased.
