Has anyone used this from start to finish for a "no haggle experience". I am HIGHLY suspicious of this "service" and dealers that use it, so i made a poll. Looking for specific experiences from start to finish. Even cursory googles suggest the entire program is a scam to get people in the door and thinking they are committed so they won't leave (not the first of it's kind there, that's for sure). At the same time there seem to be genuine and heartfelt thank-god-for-truecar reviews with enough bad grammar and misspelled words to make them seem probably legit.
edit - one of the most super sketchy/ok this is a scam things I see right off the bat is that they won't tell you who the dealers are without giving out ALL your info, and even then, you have to commit, print the "certificate", and prepare to be assaulted by phone before you even find out who it might be. In the case of Austin, there are limited dealers, so I know that the price I liked was at RR Hyundai, but I sat with my mom during her purchase and they would have worked her over HARD had I not been there, so I am already expecting a battle.
