Oh Wise LJ Peeps, I Have a Question…

Does anyone have experience with CarsDirect.com?

As I've hinted, I'm going to drop a dime on a new Acura TSX (6 spd w/ navi). They seem to have a really great rate (not far above dealer invoice, and well below MSRP), but I've not used them, so I don't quite know how it all works.

I've already test-driven the car, so really, the purchase shouldn't be any different than buying a $30k book from Amazon. However, *shouldn't* is often different than *isn't*.

Does the car come FedEx Air or UPS Ground? ;-)

What company discount plans are there available to you? We use Corporate Perks (NextJump) and their connection is to carperks.net. I have not used them but have used the program at Sam's and at Costco. I have used CarsDirect in the past for light research only.

I work in a *very* small boutique web shop, so we don't have cool perks like what was available at Modem Media, or large über corps. I'm also not a costco member, or any such thing.

If you have a costco near you it would be worth the signup fee to get the savings. But, do your comparison shopping.
