Good but no substitute for negotiating.
Great info. Gave us a good starting point for negotiating.
The fact that CarCostCanada gave us a referral to a dealer quite far away seemed frustrating at first, but it enabled us to make an even better deal at our local dealer!

We always want our members to be armed with all of the information they need to feel confident when visiting a dealership, which is our main purpose of providing the actual invoice cost - thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Totally useless
Totally useless! Just another way for yous to collect personal information. You claim some "special" pricing, yet there is ABSOLUTELY nothing special about them!

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with your thoughts! Here at CarCostCanada, pricing accuracy plays a major role in our services. Pricing available on dealer sites only go as far as the MSRP which is available to everyone. CarCostCanada provides it's members with access to the dealer cost (what the dealer paid for the vehicle) to contribute to getting a good deal at the best price possible on a brand new vehicle. I looked up your account history and we noticed that you have not built any reports, which is the only way that you are able to view the invoice price. There also has not been any contact between you and our member support team and we find your feedback to be very important. We would be happy to further discuss this with you. Someone will be reaching out to you shortly.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide us your review. Those who sign up to use our service are usually in the market to buying a brand new vehicle. Once they become member's, they are looking for as much assistance as possible to ensure that they are getting the best price available. Our dealer referral feature has been put in place for people to be able to have a hassle-free buying experience. We want to assure you, these dealers only reach out to provide assistance as shopping for a brand new vehicle can be overwhelming and at times, stressful. In the “How it Works” portion of our website, we state “One of our hand-selected professional dealerships will provide you with the Best Price and a wonderful buying experience. You may receive a free dealer referral from one of CarCostCanada’s handpicked professional new car dealership network – they will assist you with factory rebate and incentive explanations”. Although the dealer referral feature is beneficial, we do understand that there are also members who would rather make initial dealer contact on their own. We have other options suitable for these members. Our member support team would love to get into contact with you to discuss this further. Someone will reach out to you soon.
Was a great experience
Was a great experience! Everything very transparent and helped me get in touch with the dealership/sales team that eventually sold me the car I was looking for. Would absolutely go through CarCostCanada again for my next car!

Was expecting to see actual invoice prices, but they weren't accurate at all. I guess most people who have used the service don't have any experience in the automotive industry. The CCC app is really just a Lead Generator, which was disappointing.

Thank you sharing your thoughts with us! We are disappointed to hear of your dissatisfaction with our service. CarCostCanada, is in fact the very first company that provides dealer invoice pricing to it’s members. The prices we include in our reports come directly from the manufacturer itself. All of the pricing displayed via our website are current and updated. Each manufacturer tends to update their rates, programs and incentives monthly. This is why we have a wonderful data team put in place here to ensure that all pricing information is updated and accurate on a monthly basis. There are instances where there may be a change in price, rate or incentive within that month. We are made aware, and proceed to make the appropriate adjustments on our end as well. With that being said, our mission at CarCostCanada is to arm members with every piece of information they need to walk into the dealership with to ensure they are getting the best price possible, Our service is built around letting members know exactly what the dealer cost is. The invoice price we provide is in fact 100% accurate. I took a look at your history and I noticed there hasn’t been any contact between you and our member support team. We would be happy to reach out to you to further discuss this matter and provide any assistance or clarification necessary. One of our member support agents will be contacting you soon. Thanks again for your feedback

Excellent information but manufacturers…
Excellent information but manufacturers are changing ways they compensate a dealer so just having invoice pricing is no longer sufficient to understand a dealers actual cost per vehicle. Marketing funds rebates and sales target attainment bonuses etc need to be disclosed

We have put this feature in place for the purpose of providing a hassle-free buying experience for our members. These trusted dealers are selected to ensure our members have a wonderful experience while searching and purchasing.

I noticed that there hasn't been contact between you and our support team. I would be happy to reach out to you to further discuss options that you may be interested in.
