Re:Confessions of a car salesman on Monday April 02, 2012 @01:33PM (#3789185)

I used to be the Internet Sales Manager for a dealership in the bay area and I can second that TrueCar is a powerful asset for the consumer.

When a dealership signs up with TrueCar they agree to give full access to their sales database. Now TrueCar has access to every car you buy and sell, new or used. They then aggregate this data to create their pricing information.
