OT car buying gurus I have a question.

Are better deals to be had on buying a new car out of a bigger market such as Houston? I am looking at Houston MB dealers and compare to NOLA and BR and it looks like it is worth the trip to make the purchase in Houston. Is this always the case?

Generally, yes.
I know plenty of people who get a car 5k cheaper in Texas in a deal done through email, less than five messages.

My fiance and myself have bought our last 4 vehicles (combine) out of Houston/Dallas. We find we can get much better deals over there. Personally I even get better interest rates too, I have no idea why that is though.

I drove down to Houston to get a truck back in 2010. They were 4K-5K off anything I could find locally at the time.

Bigger markets absolutely help deals, but NOLA and BR will likely match anything Houston offers on a NEW car.

high volume vehicles like trucks, yes.
Not so much on MB or BMW.

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.
