Apparently the latest "hip" way to shop for cars is to use a Broker website.

I've been using a car broker for a decade now and can confirm that it is indeed the best way to buy a car. You can tell them generally what you're looking for, they'll line up 3 or 4 models for you to compare. You go to one location to check them all out at the same time, and they handle everything else. You never have to go into a dealership at all. It's amazing.

Huh, neat. I almost used one about 8 years ago when I bought my last car but they didn’t do a good job of selling their service. It just didn’t seem worth it at the time
