The Old-Fashioned Way
1. You can't leave. You're pressured to buy the car today, without the chance to comparison shop.
2. Endless negotiation. You're stuck for hours going head-to-head with a salesman.
3. You're overwhelmed by numbers. APRs, fees, payment schedules—you have to sign right away and there's no time to think.
Our Dealer Network
We generate millions of dollars in sales each month for the dealers. By using our website as the middleman, you can save hundreds of dollars on your purchase. Why do dealers work with us then? Because of the 50,000 cars sold each day, fewer than 500 are sold through our network. That’s a drop in the bucket for the car dealers, but a bottom line price quote for you.
In addition, we'll show you any available manufacturer Rebates & Incentives for your new car.
The Back Door to Savings
A dealership’s Internet department prices its vehicles to maximize the number of cars it sells, not the profit per car. Manufacturers decide the allocation of vehicles and dealer perks on the basis of a dealership's volume.
Coming in through the "back door" levels the playing field for your negotiation and tells the dealer that you have done your research, that you know about rebates, hold-backs, multiple price quotes and all the tricks of the trade.
When you deal with our contacts in the Internet department, you get a firm price quote, and oftentimes the paper work is already prepared when you walk into the dealership.
Depending on your location, sometimes the dealer will bring the car to you at your home or office for a test drive, walk-around, and ultimately delivery.
We keep referring customers to friendly Internet Sales Managers, and they keep selling cars at incredibly low prices.
The WhyPaySticker.com Way
1. Start from the comfort of home. It's so easy with free, no-obligation Internet price quotes from Accredited Dealers.
2. Make dealers compete. You know you'll get the best price with competitive bids from multiple dealers.
3. Finalize the numbers on your terms. Finish your negotiations on your time, then go to the dealership to pick up your new car.
New 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Overview
Being quite frank, Chevrolet’s last sub-compact, the Aveo, was a disappointment. But GM is looking to wipe the slate clean and prove that they can make a sub-compact that people actually want to drive (and buy for that matter), and it looks like they’ve done it with the new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic.
The Sonic was designed in Korea and it is leaps and bounds better than the outgoing Aveo. Available in both sedan and five-door hatchback varieties, the Sonic has an aggressive face that’s highlighted by its unique headlight fixtures and split grille/air intake. The Sonic’s beltline also gives it a sportier appearance as it tapers up towards the rear of the car. On the hatchback, the door handles for the rear doors are hidden in the rear pillars and a rear spoiler is standard.
Engine options are shared with the Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan, and include a 1.8-liter four-cylinder and a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder. Both engines output 138-horsepower although the turbocharged engine has a sizable advantage in torque. Transmission options include a five- or six-speed manual (six-speed with the turbocharged engine) and a six-speed automatic.
Fuel economy numbers come in at 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway (opting for the automatic transmission bumps city mpg to 26), which are decent but there are other cars in the segment that will offer you better mileage.
The biggest strides have arguably been made to the interior of the Sonic. One of the highlights is the brand new instrument panel, which attaches a digital speedometer to a more traditional analog tachometer. Chevy says that the look was inspired by motorcycles and the blue backlighting adds to the cabin’s ambiance. Standard features include auxiliary audio input jack, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, air conditioning, power locks, and remote keyless entry. If you want to get more out of your Sonic, choose from options like heated front seats, sunroof, remote start, Bluetooth®, and USB/iPod connectivity.
When it comes to safety, you can rest easy in the 2012 Sonic, which was named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS. Standard safety features include ten airbags (most cars come with six), OnStar, electronic stability system, antilock brakes, and traction control.
The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic not only fights the other cars in its segment, but perception as well. And we think the Sonic does that - Chevy has proved that it can make subcompact that looks good, drives well, and has an interior that you actually want to spend time in.
