Does a car buying service actually save you money?

I want to buy a new saturn vue & the dealer says they are a set price -the no haggle saturn philosophy.

Does it pay to have AAA or other car buying service, price one for me? AAA says that they will automatically save you the 1,000 in the extra fees the dealer charges, if nothing else.

Some car buying services will save some people money. Depending on your negotiation skills, you may do better without paying them.

    I don't know how Saturn dealer prices cars. My bank which gave me financing also offered "free" buying service. After we picked the car we wanted, we called the bank, and the bank and the dealer negotiated the price. Can't remember how much, but it was around $2,000 off. It was Nissan. Again, I don't know how Saturn prices their cars. If they don't negotiate, you don't want to pay for the service. Yahoo Auto has a pretty good information on car prices, too.

    depend on the type of car .there was one incident in southern california where the state sue a toyota dealer for unnecessary service contract because toyota has a reputation of reliable and long manufacture warranty.on your car,it a good idea to buy extended service contract but becareful on those fine print terms contract.certain parts are not cover.READ THE CONTRACT CAREFULLY.DO NOT RELY ON SALEPERSONS.THEY WILL LIED ANYTHING FOR A COMMISSION.
