Frequently Asked Questions
Is Better Auto Buying an auto brokering service?
No. Brokers add their own markup on to your purchase while limiting you to buy from their dealers only. I work to maximize your savings, and am not limited to any particular dealers.
Do you work for dealerships or manufacturers?
No. I am paid by and work exclusively for my clients. I am not compensated by any of the dealerships, so I can be trusted to concern myself completely with the welfare of the client.
What brands and manufacturers do you deal with?
As an independent buyer’s advocate I can help you purchase any brand or model that you decide on. I will help you weigh the pros and cons of each model that you are considering.
Do you offer help with both new and used cars?
I can assist with new or used vehicle purchases and can help you to decide which is best for you, as I have extensive experience and resources in both markets.
What is the cost of your service?
The initial consultation is free. Once a client decides to work with me, I charge a flat fee of $549 for the full Better Auto Buying service. This includes everything listed under the “How it Works” section on this website.
Why should I spend extra money to hire a consultant?
I help make suitable vehicle selections, save time and reduce stress, while still saving my clients more than the cost of my fee. Please click on the “Advantages” section of this website to see more benefits of Better Auto Buying.
Can you guarantee that I’ll get the lowest price?
No one can definitively promise to always guarantee the lowest price, but I will get the lowest legitimate offers from reliable dealers. I have the leverage and know-how to get my clients a much lower bottom-line deal than they could obtain on their own.
Can I hire you just to negotiate for me?
I am available to handle negotiations only, or to just assist in your selection process if that is what is needed. A lower rate is charged for these individual services.
