2.Six Different Buying Services

If you don't do it that way, if you just give people a dealer's name, they go in and find themselves in front of an F&I guy who is trying to sell dealer prep, rustproofing, extended warranties."

What Does It Cost? The fee for having ACS find and negotiate a car is $295 for a car in stock. If the car has to be ordered-and they that through a dealer-the fee is $249 in most cases. If you enlist their
