[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have bought a car twice using email and we test drove the car first, then decided exactly what options we wanted, then emailed a bunch of dealers, then negotiated them down a bit until they were at what we thought was the lowest based on the true car price and other dealers, then went in to get the car.

Do the dealers like this?  I don’t know and I don’t particularly care.

We did something similar this year. Test drove in a different state. Came home, sent emails with *exactly* what we wanted, except for color, which we didn't care about. The most responsive dealer just happened to be the closest to us. We negotiated a bit over email (showing exact same car advertised 45 miles away for cheaper). Met in the middle which I was fine with bc I didn't want to drive 90 miles round trip to save a few dollars with an unresponsive dealer. Agreed on price over emailn aaaaand that's the same price we paid when we picked it up and closed the deal.

If it matters, we were paying cash, so we didn't deal at all with the financing dept.[/quote]
