How Good are the Deals Offered During Car Week?
Every dealership participating in Car Week has committed to pricing its cars at or below Edmunds.com's True Market Value®. These prices will often save you thousands of dollars off the sticker price.
What is Edmunds.com's True Market Value®?
The True Market Value (TMV) price of a car is the average price paid in a given area for that car. It is based on actual sales data. TMV is essential information for shoppers because cars sell at very different prices depending on their availability and popularity. Knowing TMV allows a shopper to make an offer that a dealer will immediately recognize as reasonable. Thus, negotiations will take less time and be more relaxed. TMV is also built into Edmunds.com's iPad and mobile phone apps so shoppers can check TMV pricing while they're on the car lot.
What is Price Promise?
Edmunds.com's Price Promise offers an instant, locked-in price that the dealer will honor. Thanks to Amazon and other modern shopping experiences, consumers are shifting their expectations about what a retail process should be. Price Promise responds to that need by giving shoppers a convenient and reliable way to know exactly what price they'll pay at the dealership as part of their car-shopping process, whether they buy or lease. So far, Price Promise customers have saved an average of $1,705.49 off MSRP; when they buy exactly the car identified in their Price Promise certificate, they saved $2,703.05. Price Promise is about a feel-good car shopper experience. It's about high satisfaction, no stress. Everyone wins in this transaction. Since Price Promise launched, we have collected feedback from dealers and consumers that indicate both sides benefit from this development. When Price Promise is used, dealers close sales at higher rates, and consumers are far more satisfied with their shopping experience. And, after signing up for Price Promise, dealers see about a ten percent increase in their dealership review scores.
