Widestorm online price negotiator??? Opinions?

[BillH]

I'm getting approached by Widestorm online negotiation. Anyone have experience with this? Interesting idea, but how does it do in real life?

Anyone with experience?

Thanks!
Bill

Never heard of it... but if it's anything like "My Live Offer," see a few comments at the end of this post: http://forum.dealerrefresh.com/f46/r-i-p-automotive-sites-have-failed-1772.html

There's a ton of them out there. I ran across one where the actually call the dealership up, remain anonymous and request their lowest/best price for the customer. They do this for every dealer in a certain radius. Then relay the info back to the customer. Then the customer can pick who has the lowest price, and they store all this data over time to show the dealer with the lowest price for that certain car.

These guys claim that the negotiations happen online, but why would the buyer not just take that number to their local guy and say "beat this"?
