Carsdirect.com -- Terrible

So much for getting a good price at carsdirect.com. I am looking at getting a 08 Tacoma V6 auto 4WD Access Cab with SR5 and a limit slip diff.

Invoice $22,008(base) + $1788(SL-SR5) + $322(LD-differential) + $685(dest) = $24,803 MSRP is $27,300

Anyways, after the $500 rebate they quoted $25291. $488 over invoice, and $988 over invoice if we eschew the rebate.

This is after they got me to drive 80 miles to a dealership. If there are any dealers in Northern Colorado/Denver that will offer $100 or so above invoice before the rebate send me a message.

Also, carsdirect.com jerked me off for a week on finding the vehicle and "friendly" phone conversations. I will never conduct business with this company after this complete waste of my time and money.

Everyone and their dog can do better than carsdirect, but I don't get it. Didn't carsdirect gave you the price before you went to the dealer ?
If so, did you expect to haggle some more once you got there ?
