Union Plus Auto Buying Service: Car Buying and Auto Pricing Tips
While the Union Plus Auto Buying Service program can provide an excellent value for a vast majority of union members, it may not appear to provide the lowest auto pricing for those members who want to take the time to haggle from dealer to dealer. Also, some cars or trucks may be in such demand that they require premium pricing (or may be excluded from the program). However, even for auto buyers who make car buying a sport, this auto buying or leasing service program can provide an excellent price point from which to start from.
