If you’re like most people, buying a new car is a special experience. But for many, going through the process of trying to get the best possible price on the car they want can be confusing, or even overwhelming.

That’s why MECU offers CarQuotes, a full-service research tool that provides you valuable information and insight into the car buying experience. All designed to help you make an informed buying decision.

With CarQuotes, you’ll receive a personalized vehicle pricing report that profiles the make and model of the new or used car you’re interested in, including the list of standard equipment. Your pricing report will show the base invoice price that’s paid by dealers, the base retail price for the car, as well as the dealer costs and MSRP of all the optional equipment.

Among the most valuable pieces of information you’ll receive is the target price. That’s the price your desired vehicle has been selling for recently. Knowing that number can help you negotiate more effectively and give you a reasonable idea of what your final price will be.

As part of your comprehensive vehicle pricing report, a detailed price worksheet lists various factors such as costs, fees, rebates and trade-in values. Simply fill in the blanks and you’ll be able to accurately approximate your final drive-off price.

In addition to pricing, CarQuotes offers a wealth of buying tips and automotive advice. These include maximizing your trade-in value, evaluating a test drive, and tips on buying a used car. You’ll also find great advice on financing, fuel savings and hybrids.

So get your CarQuotes vehicle pricing report today. It’s all just another way MECU goes the extra mile to ensure that when you finally slide into your new driver’s seat, you’ll know that you’ve come out ahead in every way, including on the bottom line.
