My dad used to buy cars that way too via bid..I on the other hand never liked the 20% hit driving them off the lot and likely never will..plenty of good used cars out there.

<<Next time I will look at Costco>> Bought my daughter a car this summer through Costco. Selected the make and model online. Was given the phone number of a dealer in the PHX metro area. There I dealt with fleet sales, not the retail sharks. $99 over dealer invoice to start, then deducted about $300 discounts willingly offered within minutes of starting to talk about price. I had gone there with my checkbook in my pocket prepared to pay cash, but the saleswoman positively begged me to take the O% interest loan, no payments for 6 months with the balance paid over four years. Asked for a downpayment that would at least cover the license, tax and tags but wasn't pushy. Almost painless. This was Mazda BTW. I believe Mazda originated the loan.
