The "get a quote" prompts for your contact info... which has value to them even if you don't buy.

If you go down this road, get a new gmail address and use it only for crap like this.

No. dealers trolling for contact info. Took me months to get off (Somerville NJ FORD list), and their 'internet special' price was more than salesman quoted when I walked in.

However, Costco online is worthwhile IMHO. Saved us money with Jeep, but not with a Subaru.

Craigslist private party only for used vehicles for me. I never would buy from a used car dealer, including the ones who don't post a price!

It's very useful for the dealer. Not so much for the buyer.
