I've used Autoadvantage information and I got the new car I wanted and 
could afford.  Dealers hate the information provided and it may mean more 
work for you as a buyer.  They get insulting, stupid, or downright pissed 
because they can't dupe you into a bad sale with all the information and 
test specs in your hand when you walk onto the lot.  They usually go 
through a routine of this:

1st guy comes you and tries to sell you shite.  You say nope, I have it 
right here that you get this car for $4000 less and it comes with all this 
stuff that you don't have on the stripped model.  1st guy gives up and 
goes away when he can't convince you to buy last year's model.

2nd guy comes out and tries the same routine hoping to score where the 
first didn't.  As soon as he sees the info in your hand he gives up 
because he already knows what going on.

3rd guy attacks as you leave the lot and gets insulting.  Your response is 
the finger, to put it aptly.

I finally went through a contact and bought the car from her father, the 
owner of the dealership.  It was much better than dealing with idiot 
salesmen who think they have the power to sell "sand to an arab" and 
actually are just loudmouthed assholes.
