Under a big tent, some deals on vehicles can be found -- but it pays to become a savvy shopper, say car dealers and consumer advocates. Tent sales often involve several dealers who get together and set up a temporary sales site away from their dealerships. Their goal is to sell a lot of vehicles in a day or two.
