Only way to buy a new car

Very impressed with the info I received, so now I know what I can offer a Dealer a price
That is reasonable for them and me as well. Knowing their cost is a big advantage.
They have to make some money but at least you can keep them from overpricing you
On the car.

(1) I'm not a member. I just tried the intro' car cost data complimentary quotation on a new car.
(2) All I received for my first search was the dealer's car cost/price set by Toyota Canada. I expected the "best" possible price for the customer on your trial / sample response. Obviously that is totally unsatisfactory.
(3) I logged on to CCC online and spoke to no one, it's impossible to rate your customer service agents communications.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! I took a look at your account history and I noticed that you priced out a 2019 Toyota Camry XLE. The price report you generated displays both the Retail Price (MSRP) and the Dealer Cost (Invoice Price) of the vehicle. Your report also provides you access to a Recommended Dealer who has been trained by CarCostCanada development specialists on how to properly assist CarCostCanada members . This is mainly what our service entails and is outlined on our website. We also have live chat agents available around the clock to provide our members with any assistance they may need. If you require any assistance at all in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via email: member-support@carcostcanada.com - live chat directly through our website or by telephone at 1-866-453-6995 ext 200 - thanks again!

I was not aware that the my query on CarCostCanada would be shared with the dealer. Anyone using your service should be advised of that up front.

Saved me $$$

Amazing service. When I initially went to the dealership, I was told by the sales guy they’ll try to get me $500-$1k off msrp but they’ve never given more. Afterwards I heard about this website, and ended up going back to the dealership and saving over $4,000 and bought the car for a drop more than cost. The days of dealers taking advantage of us all are over... although I’m sure they’ve still figured out how to make money off of us.

Can't believe how good this service worked out for me. It was actually CarCostCanada that ended up sending my information to a partnered dealer that contacted me. They skipped all haggling and basically shattered the price of all other dealerships I had previously visited trying to negotiate (before visiting CarCostCanada). I didn't have a chance to even take my dealer cost price summary to any dealership as the referral came in really fast and they just got the whole deal done over email and a phone call.

Easy and quick to use. It also helps to eliminate or greatly reduce the negotiation process once the CarCostCanada report is shown to the sales person.

Used to be good, now is just a way for dealerships to get your information and annoy you with calls and e-mails. I would rather pay more for the info and not have it not sponsored by dealerships.

Car Cost Canada Lack of Detailed Dealer Costs

Car Cost Canada did not provide me with a breakdown of dealer costs and what profit the dealer should make in terms of percentages in order to make a deal. Instead they simply put me in contact with a dealer who unsolicited contacted me.

Hi there and thank you very much for your feedback.
Our service is intended to provide our members with certainty, accuracy and confidence when dealing with New Car Dealerships. CarCostCanada™ is unable to provide our members with a breakdown of all dealer costs and the profit the dealer should make as it is not possible to do so. Dealer costs as well as profits vary from dealer to dealer, region to region and are not standard. We provide our members with all of the information we are capable of providing them with that we know is 100% accurate including the most crucial, the Dealer Invoice Cost as well as the current programs, rates and incentives being offered through the manufacturer, all of which is information we are certain of. Providing our members with the Sticker Price (MSRP) and the Dealer Invoice Cost gives a clear margin of potential savings. We also recently added a "Pricing Guidance" section in the report to assist members in determining what the mark up may or should be.
