Edmunds tells me, with the features I want, that the price should be between $50,000-$58,000 depending on features. In my case, I have been looking for a 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty Pick-Up Short Bed in the Lariat Package. In fact, even when provided the right VIN number it is always in transit! To add insult to the string of phony baloney, instead of providing the vehicle you selected during the on-line process, your email is filled with models that do not match what you requested. There is a catch: the vehicle as priced is never available. Then daily (sometimes even more) Edmunds pushes your selected vehicle with admonitions such as "test drive this before its gone" and "your selected vehicle is here". It then directs you to the dealer's site, forwards your information to the dealer so the harassing calls, texts and emails can start pouring in.

Edmunds even gives you an imaginary "price paid by others," for the same vehicle telling you what is a good, fair or even great price. But they have figured out a way to upsell using the internet through the supposed services provided by Edmunds.Įdmunds allows you to define you vehicle search and then "connects" you with dealers. It is obvious why car dealers cannot stand the internet: it allows consumers to shop around and, in theory, compare prices.
