Has anyone used USAA or AMEX car buying services? If so, what was your experience? Would you do it again? Did you used as leverage with the dealer or actually use the certificate? I was researching Truecar pricing as a benchmark. Thanks in advance.

USAA Car Buying Service is excellent. I would also research for discounts or programs from the manufacturer. I recently bought a new car and the company have a program for the employees and military and they beat the USAA price by a couple of thousands.

I used the USAA car buying service and I would definitely use it again for my next purchase. It was an excellent service and worked as expected. I actually had 4 to 5 different dealerships calling me with competitive offers. I got the exact price from the certificate for the exact vehicle I was looking for. It didn't take long at all and the competition between the dealerships ensured that I got what I wanted at a very fair price. I will use it again when I make my next vehicle purchase and I definitely recommend it.

I haven't used them for the negotiating process, but I've used them for the financing multiple times. It's super easy. You pick a car and work out a deal, then call them. They do the approval in a very short time (as in minutes), and then overnight you a "sight draft". You take that to the dealer and you're done.

I printed the true car price and then leveraged the financing using USAA's rate. The only tough part was finding an approved dealer. I didn't want to leave a tax-tree state to make the purchase.

I didn't know they had approved dealers. Maybe I've just been lucky and chosen approved ones without realizing it.
