Anyone in the market for a new car or truck? I am forming an AUTOMOBILE GROUP BUYING CLUB where we all go to a vehicle dealership with 20, 30, 40 or more people who are all willing to buy a new vehicle on the spot IF the price and terms are great. I believe that this level of purchasing volume should be worth AT LEAST 35% or more discount on the MSRP of a new vehicle. Let's work together on our individual auto purchase and we can all save a ton of money!
