THE JOURNEY

Five clear steps to a better-informed purchase.

You remain the customer and the final decision-maker. We serve as your independent advocate.

2

I search and compare

We search dealerships nationwide, compare available vehicles and offers, and identify the options that make the most sense for you.

3

I negotiate

We negotiate written, itemized out-the-door offers with multiple dealerships. You'll be able to compare those offers in your private deal portal.

4

We verify the deal

Review paperwork and final figures together; invite dealer manager to the live call where feasible.

5

You complete your purchase

Transact directly with your selected dealer; optional shipping coordination.

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP

We review the final pencil together.

After you select your preferred deal and dealership, we'll review the written buyer's order or equivalent sales document together. We can also request a three-way Microsoft Teams video call with the dealership manager to walk through the final figures and make sure everything matches the agreed-upon terms.

If the dealership declines a live meeting, we'll help you review the written terms another way. We can't promise every dealer will participate in a video call.

Figures we will help verify

  • Selling price and dealer fees
  • Rebates and incentive conditions
  • Trade value and loan payoff if applicable
  • Financing APR and term if applicable
  • Optional products and total cash due
  • Delivery terms and destination charges
OPTIONAL HOME DELIVERY

From your couch to your driveway.

If the vehicle is at a remote dealership and you want delivery, we can help you evaluate delivery options through appropriately licensed and insured transport providers, subject to applicable legal requirements.

You pay the shipping provider directly for a separate agreed quote. Final delivery, remote document signing, titles and taxes vary by location and dealer.

What stays between you and your dealer?

Vehicle purchase contracts, finance applications, sensitive identity documents and payment for the vehicle. We don't take title to the car or finance the transaction.
