Man, I so do not want to deal with buying/leasing a new car, but the time is quickly approaching... My 98 Expedition is about to die and I'm looking at a new Town and Country for DW..
Does anyone recall hearing in the press about a service (perhaps Boston based) that you pay some $300 and they collect 5 best offers from local dealers for the car w/specs that you want? I saw it on the Today show some 8 months ago and it seemed worth looking into.
How do I arrange for my own car loan other than the dealer's? Do I have that lined up prior to making a deal or do I make a deal with the dealer, take their loan, and then have a third party lender step in and replace that loan with their own?
When should the '09 models begin showing up and does that truly present an opportunity to purchase either the 09 or 08?
Would welcome any advice!
Thanks
