How can CarGurus provide full cost of car transparency from dealers that advertise their cars on CarGurus?

Asked by Tony Jun 19, 2019 at 04:10 PM about the 2017 Nissan Rogue SL AWD

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I visited Huntington Nissan on 6/19/19 inquiring about two Rogue SL-AWD Sport vehicles advertised and listed at cost between $19000 and $19650 based different mileage but identical color and trim package. Dealership salesperson Bob Stone presented car and I agreed to the advertised price on CarGurus of $19650 only to be given a deal sheet that included over $2700 in other fees which killed the deal and also fueled the negative persona of car dealerships as "bait and switch' factories. See below:
$750.00 if we do not finance thru them - gave me 5% finance when I told them I can do better with TFCU at 3.59%
$995.00 destination charge - car was already in service as a dealer loaner
$995.00  dealership charge - whats this for - bottom line fluff?

It would be great if CarGurus provided 100% cost transparency as part of their opinion rating on sell price - this deal went from great to shit in a matter of minutes. Very dissappointed especially since I have bought (4) other cars and sold (3) through CarGurus.

Shop around to get the best deal .CG's can't make dealers do anything at all. Just because they ask for all those fees does not mean you have to pay them. Destination charges for new cars as shown on the window sticker are legit but no one should pay sticker price for a new car. Look up the invoice cost using services like TrueCar.
