CSAA, PriceCosto, and AutoByTel all use dealer fleet buying programs
and mostly the same dealers.  You should get the same prices through
any of these.

Car Bargains gets several dealers to compete with each other.
I've heard that they can get prices several hundred dollars lower
than the fleet programs, but Car Bargains does charge an up front fee.

I've never heard of CU Auto.

Note that if you're a good haggler, you can usually negotiate better
prices than any of these services.  This does, however, take a lot
of time and work.
