Also how does CarWoo handle trade-ins? What about financing?
I really hope this work out though. I swore off buying new cars after my last terrible experience at a dealer. Hopefully something like this might let me buy a new car yet.
If you have a trade-in, you can describe it and the dealers will include a quote for that in addition to the quote for the new car.
They can also give you an estimate for financing, although for the most part that is still handled at the dealership. Financing is one of those last-mile problems that we haven't totally solved yet, but we're working on it.
True, the dealer can still haggle you on trade-ins and financing, but removing the "price of new car" variable simplifies that negotiation quite a bit. One of the current tactics that works very well for dealerships is trying to throw as many variables at you as possible (Google the "four square method"). Plus you can always sell your car to someone else instead of the dealership, and/or get a loan from your own bank.
