What You Should Know
Before
Buying A Car
WHAT IS AN AUTOMOTIVE CONSULTANT?
As an independent sales and leasing service we offer you significant savings on new car or truck purchases and leases - any brand or model, import or domestic. However, the best thing that we offer is no hassle "today only" pressure and no wasted time going from dealer to dealer looking for the right combination of price, color and model. We do all that for you.
HOW CAN "I" DO IT?
We buy hundreds of cars ... and volume counts. Dealers want profit, BUT
competition demands that they also have numbers. Without meeting their
manufacturer's quotas they lose valuable inventory - we help them meet those
quotas. We also buy throughout the five Western States and take advantage of
lower dealer costs whenever possible. We use a Statewide competitive bidding
system to assure the best possible prices and usually deliver your car in 3
to 5 days.
HOW ABOUT TRADE-INS?
YES, we welcome trade-ins and our bidding system leverages your trade's
maximum value. We also take cars on consignment for our clients - when we do
so, we guarantee your trade-in value for thirty days to assure that you make
the most money possible. In addition we offer a no charge appraisal of your
car and will give you approximate trade-in and retail values whether you buy
a car from us or not - just call for an appointment.
FINANCING?
As a matter of fact, financing can be a source of significant savings to you
since dealers mark up bank rates to make additional profit. We provide full
financing and leasing services and counsel on the best program for you. We
also use the manufacturer's programs whenever it is to your advantage - often
the manufacturers offer a much reduced interest rate which can save you
thousands of dollars!
DON'T BE FOOLED!
There are more games that lure you into dealerships than any of us care to
know ... not to mention the advertised specials that common sense tells you,
are too good to be true. Don't be fooled by what I call "Sizzle Advertising"
and promotions which includes "Talking with a Fleet Manager". To qualify as
a buyer in fleet programs, you must be recognized as a legitimate fleet buyer
by the manufacturer, not the dealer.
Another concern of mine is "Buying Services" that require you to go to the dealer after they have negotiated the price - this leaves you wide open for further sales tactics that can substantially increase that negotiated price.
At Automotive Trust expect excellent pricing with no pressure. Based on my automobile experience of over 30 years, legions of loyal clients will attest to a level of service that has made buying their car a pleasure.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to being of service to you soon.
