AWEB gives you a firm price quote for cars located in you area that can be gotten without stepping foot at the dealership. This means no haggling. Also they are in fact catering to women look at the pole they are taking. "are women at a disadvantage...." Here is what is listed for the process on the web site How Our Process Works Fill out your Purchase Request to indicate the exact make and model you wish to buy. You are under no obligation to buy, but please remember when you submit a purchase request, you are indicating your interest in buying, not shopping. At the end of the request, you will be asked to choose up to two Autoweb.com Member Dealers in your area. If there is only one Member Dealer in your area, your request will be automatically sent to that dealer. Your Autoweb.com Sales Consultant will contact you within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, by phone or e-mail with a firm competitive price. The price quoted is the price you'll get. Please note, prices are always subject to certain market conditions. An Autoweb.com Customer Care Representative will follow up with your request to make sure you're completely satisfied with the service you receive. So it would seem that you get a quote from the dealer, that is a firm price. Fleet prices or better likely.

Pluvia, Time to admit my own lameness (just on this trade, mind you, not in general, thank you ;-) ) Even though some of my facts were on the money, I did not heed your earnest warnings of the AWEB and how bad of a long investment it was going to be. Don't worry about the lessons being learned, it is cemented in with a Big loss. Standard mistakes...my own denials and stubbornness to see a POS suddenly become a Gem. Trust me I have learned (am learning still rather). I will do my best to recognize these things, that trap me...by my own hands. But in regards to your appraisal and call here, I would have only benefited if I would have listened stronger to you, especially considering you took the time to reply to my post. Thanks for the reply too. Best of luck, Cheers Wolff
