Question 1

How much does the service cost?

Accepted Answer

$300 upfront.

Question 2

Do I need a dealership offer?

Accepted Answer

No. We can negotiate from scratch. The $1,000 benchmark simply doesn't apply when there's no qualifying written offer to compare against.

Question 3

What if I already have a written offer?

Accepted Answer

We'll review it and determine whether we believe we can realistically beat it by $1,000.

Question 4

What happens if you can't beat my offer by $1,000?

Accepted Answer

If we determine this upfront, we'll tell you and refund your $300.

Question 5

What does the $300 actually pay for?

Accepted Answer

Our professional negotiation service, including research, dealership communication, deal analysis, and negotiation.

Question 6

Do you guarantee that I'll buy a car?

Accepted Answer

No. You decide whether to purchase the vehicle after we negotiate. The service is the negotiation itself.

Question 7

What if I have bad credit?

Accepted Answer

We can still provide negotiation services, but financing approval is ultimately determined by the lender or dealership.

Question 8

Do I have to buy the vehicle you negotiate?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 9

Do you negotiate used cars?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to the specific vehicle and circumstances.

Question 10

Do you negotiate leases?

Accepted Answer

Potentially, depending on the specific deal.

Question 11

Do you negotiate financing?

Accepted Answer

We can evaluate and negotiate financing-related components where applicable, but financing approval and lender terms are ultimately controlled by the lender.

Question 12

Do you negotiate trade-ins?

Accepted Answer

Where applicable, yes. We'll also encourage you to evaluate the vehicle purchase price and the trade-in value separately, so one isn't used to disguise the other.

Question 13

Do I have to travel 100 miles?

Accepted Answer

No. The purpose of the 100-mile radius is to give us a larger market to negotiate within. You should be willing to consider dealerships within that area if the deal makes sense.

Question 14

Why 100 miles?

Accepted Answer

Because more dealerships create more competition, and more competition gives us more negotiating leverage.

Question 15

What if the dealership refuses to negotiate?

Accepted Answer

We'll make a reasonable effort, but ultimately the dealership decides what price it is willing to accept.

Question 16

What if the vehicle sells?

Accepted Answer

Vehicle availability is controlled by the dealership, so we cannot guarantee a particular vehicle will remain available.
