Are better deals to be had on buying a new car out of a bigger market such as Houston?

Lord yes. Here's what I did when buying my wife's car: I had the cars.com app on my phone and had several VERY similar examples as the one I went to see locally. The local dealer was $4,500 higher than the exact same car in Dallas. I showed it to him and said if he could beat that price I'd buy it today. He did so I bought it. You shouldn't have to go through all that to get a "fair" price but at least with technology you have a leg up.

You should always search for the specific make, model, year, trim, engine, etc. on cars.com then sort by lowest price within 500 or 1000 miles. When I've done that with trucks Mac Haik in Houston is usually the cheapest by far.

Get them to send you a quote by email or fax so you can discuss it with your wife. Walk into the local dealerships and ask them to match it. I only suggest it because it has worked for me. They do want something in writing from the other dealership.



Will do

high volume vehicles like trucks, yes.

Not so much on MB or BMW.


Not exactly true, Momentum BMW in Houston was willing to deal with us while buying a M3 when Peake and the BR dealer wouldn't budge on pricing.

Good to know.

Isn't the Nola and BR BMW the same group now?
