When you shop for prices, please remember that these prices are based upon careful analysis of current market trends and no one has a magic price machine.
So, if you get a super low price, they could be trying to get you on the hook and then raise the price later while your car sits needlessly in Purgatory waiting to be rescued?
Or, may try to keep your deposit when your car doesn't get picked up because the price was too low?
Or, may send you a less than desirable driver?
We do not play games and we don't use drivers with a rating less than 97%.

An Easy Way To Buy A Car
If you’re looking for a change from the hassle and headache of the usual car buying experience, you’ve come to the right place. I have been in the car business for over 30 years as a dealer and also as a Sr Valuations Analyst for Auto Trader and Kelley Blue Book, so I know the in's and out's of negotiating a great car deal!
Allow me to do the work and shield you from pushy salespeople wearing you down for hours, nonstop e-mails, irritating phone calls, and annoying text messages.
How do you know if you really got a good deal?
How do you know if you really got a good deal?
This 2020 Jeep that I negotiated for Barbara had a $55,200.00 Window Sticker Price and a Dealer Invoice (Dealer Cost) of $51,951.00, so how did she only pay $47,494.92? My negotiated price for her was 8% below dealer cost, yet the dealer didn't lose money. The modern car buying process is very deceptive these days and if you don't know how the pricing game is being played, you will pay a lot more than you need to. How much can I save for you?

What is the "factory invoice" cost?
What is the "factory invoice" cost?
The "factory invoice" cost is theoretically what the dealer paid the manufacturer for the car. The dealer will have a printed invoice that shows this cost figure. It is less than the "manufacturer's suggested retail price'' (MSRP), which is the "list price'' shown on the window sticker of the car.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price is the price for which the manufacturer theoretically thinks the car should be sold to you. Almost all cars are sold below the manufacturer's suggested retail price and some cars are sold below the factory invoice cost.hen writing, try to keep things down to a few lines at a time.
How is it possible for a dealer to sell a car below factory invoice cost?
How is it possible for a dealer to sell a car below factory invoice cost?
It is possible because the factory invoice usually doesn't reflect the true cost to the dealer: dealers often get "holdback's,'' factory-to-dealer incentive payments, end-of-year-carryover allowances, and other allowances that reduce the cost below what the factory invoice shows.
The factory invoice cost figure is only a reference point for a dealers' bid. The factory invoice cost for the same car with the same options is the same for all dealers. So, if one dealer bids, for example, $200 below invoice and a second bids $400 above invoice, you know that the first is $600 lower priced than the second.
My service brings big advantages to this bidding process.
My service brings big advantages to this bidding process.
• All costs—advertising association fees, dealer-installed options, processing fees, etc.—are explicit in dealers' bids, not added on later.
• Because dealers know I'll get low bids from other dealers, each dealership knows it will have to bid very low to have a chance of winning. I remind dealers that I will get prices from out-of-area dealers, an hour or two drive away.
• Dealers know the bidding is for real. They know that I'll get multiple quotes. In addition, they know that a consumer who has paid for my service is almost certain to buy now from one of the quoting dealers, so refusing to quote means losing any chance at a sale. In contrast, when you call for a bid, the dealer may not believe you will bother to get bids elsewhere. Worse still, dealers often make statements like "shop around and I'll beat any price'' or "come on down and I'll take care of you" — leaving you with no more information than you started with. In addition, dealers may believe you're just casually shopping and therefore may not treat you seriously.
• I will be a witness to each dealer's quotes. I will get signed commitments, and the dealers know that I will follow up. In contrast, if a customer gets quotes by phone, the dealer may believe it can back out without serious consequences.
