Spent five hours at the dealer today to buy a truck and end up walking. What a bunch liars, but I knew that going in. Are any of these car buying websites any good or should I contact dealers directly online?  Is the Costco car buying deal any good?  I appreciate any advice. Also, I have an 800 credit score and a down payment. My credit wasn't the issue. The issue was that after I agreed on price, the finance asshole kept adding shit that wasn't agreed to so I walked.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Have a resource for you if you are in the DFW area, but it is not quite as simple as a site to buy through. Let me know if you’re up here.

Thanks SideCarGT, but I'm a hair north of Houston.  I guess I'll just start hitting the dealer websites. Problem I ran into last time is once they contacted me they wanted me to come in. I've heard good things about Costco's vehicle network, but that was pre 2021. Thanks for the offer.

I just did Costco for a CX5. No bullshit other than the upsell stuff which I declined.

TLDR
Carmax service is awesome and process is easy.
Used twice, will use again.

I like these guys:  https://caredge.com/

They also show how long a vehicle has been sitting on a lot.

I bought a Frontier S crew cab 4x4. Found a good dealer in southwest Houston close to NRG stadium, Central Nissan. It was fairly painless.
