Dealer Rater is probably a good source. Why is "high volume" important? Sometimes big dealers also means big profits.

Ok, as long as high volume isn't a limiting factor. Any dealer is capable of making a "best deal".hi upflying: My understanding was the high volume dealers are able to make the best deal (from a buyer's perspective) of course.
that's what i did. ended up buying mine from Southern States Subaru in Raleigh, which is the opposite of a high volume dealer, but i got a super awesome deal. i'm not sure why high volume matters.Best deal I saw was to use the forum advice which is to send out emails to dealers withing 100 miles of where you live and request the lowest price for your requirements.
I found that this worked best whether you were ordering or buying off the lot or one coming in.
I got 11.6% off MSRP which I was very happy with.
Expect 1/2 the dealers to respond with offers.
There is a thread about this I think someplace on the forum...
X2, to me "high volume" means "high overhead". Mega-dealers have a lot of expenses and employees, each with their hand in the cash drawer.Why does the dealer have to be "high volume"? My dealer (see sig) is definitely mid to low volume and they gave me a better price than either Edmunds or TrueCar were showing for my area and they had to do a dealer trade to get it.
