Edmunds.com Helps Car Buyers Negotiate Lowest Prices at the Dealership Using New "True Market Value® Tutorial"
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — January 23, 2009 — In today's tough economy, getting the best price on a new or used car is more important than ever. With the launch of its new True Market Value® tutorial, Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information, is providing consumers with a valuable resource that saves time and money during the car-buying process.
The new tutorial gives users step-by-step guidance about how to negotiate a great deal on a new or used vehicle, then offers free True Market Value car pricing reports that can be printed or emailed for use in the negotiation.
"It's a car buyer's market right now, especially for those buyers who do their homework," said Philip Reed, Senior Consumer Advice Editor for Edmunds.com. "Our research shows that most recent car buyers have enjoyed discounts ranging from 10 to 30 percent off sticker price. Using the Edmunds.com tutorial is an easy way for shoppers to determine what sort of discount they should target as they negotiate for the cars they want to buy."
Edmunds.com True Market Value® pricing is an exclusive system that informs the consumer what others are paying for the new car they want to buy. It is calculated based on actual dealer sales across the U.S., along with several other factors such as vehicle inventory levels, unpublished incentives, market conditions, and economic trends.
