alanjwax Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I started bidding two weeks ago at $15 for as small as a compact. Rejected every time despite increasing by a dollar every other day. Hot.wire was showing offers of around $36 and up for compact and larger models until today. Just in case I booked a Thrifty offer of a compact at $27. As recently as yesterday, I was rejected at $24 on Price.Line for a compact. Today, I first checked Hot.wire, which showed $19 for a standard. I bid $17 on PL, which said I needed to bid $44 to win. I went ahead anyway with my $17 bid and won. As usual, persistence pays off. I figure that around 10-11 days before the date a car is needed is the optimum for a deal. Link to comment
