My husband had a very bad experience with a local dealer. He went to Orlando area and had an excellent experience. Agree with all who say get out of the immediate area.

I thought I would give the Costco buying service a try. I contacted them about a Ford, but they said there are no Ford dealers available in the area. Really? Then, I asked about a Toyota, and they gave me the name of a dealership in Orlando. I contacted them and asked for the Costco price on a specific 2025 RAV4 on their lot. The MSRP was $32,600. The total out-the-door (OTD) price was about $38,000, although they didn't exactly call it an OTD price, so I assume that it may actually be higher. Then, I calculated the KKB.com fair OTD purchase price, and it was about $33,000. So, the cost difference is at least $5,000, which is way too much for me to even consider driving to Orlando. I talked with the Costco buying service (who are not Costco employees), but they could not tell me how they can offer any pricing assistance at all, just a discount on future service if I buy the vehicle. The only consolation is that the Costco buying service is free to use.

We just bought our last one with our phone, drove the dealership, and the car drove us home. Apparently they are driving themselves to the buyers' home once in awhile these days. It's pretty easy and if you buy before Sept. 30 then the government will pay $7500 towards the purchase price. I mean...how can you beat that??

Find a dealer in Whesley Chapel or Clermont. Better deals.
