Guide to 2018 Cars, SUVs, & Trucks
This week, I wanted to alert you to Motor Trend's "2018 Ultimate Buyer's Guide", which has recently been completed on all cars, suvs, and trucks.
Each year, Motor Trend compiles all the specs and changes to the latest crop of models, showing you which models have had minor or major changes, and detailing prices, safety ratings, predicted resale value, and engine specs.
Here are the guides for each segment:
As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise to see the lowest prices your local dealers are willing to offer.
My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, Edmunds Price Promise, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.California Residents - Important:
There is a new online car buying service called Roadster, available only to California residents, which I highly recommend you try - especially if you hate the stress of haggling with a car salesman. They provide an expert concierge who negotiates the price of the car and delivers it to your home with zero hassle - you never have to interact with a dealership. Here is my in-depth review of Roadster and why I recommend it.- Gregg Fidan
