Act I · ♦ The game

The sheet always grows.

Their favorite trick: pad the deal on the way to the desk. Watch the out-the-door number.

♦ Buyer's order · New carThe desk

Don't get played.

Junk fees don't survive. If it isn't in the out-the-door number, it doesn't exist.

Act II · ♣ Case 001

Why I don't do used/pre-owned cars.

One bad deal changed which side of the table I sit on.

♥ The Bad Beat

A good dad bought his daughter a used car. Overcharged from the start.

The Carfax said stolen. The dealer said nothing. The engine lasted a month: $10,000 to fix.

All in, he could have bought her a brand-new car.

Asa, founder

My girlfriend's dad bought her a used car from a dealership. A good man doing a good thing, something dependable for his daughter to drive through college. He was overcharged from the minute he shook hands, and nobody in that building was going to tell him.

The Carfax literally showed the car had been stolen before. The dealer never brought it up. A month later the engine died, and the quote to fix it was ten thousand dollars. Add it all up and he could have put her in a brand-new car instead.

None of those games are a mystery to me. I worked at a dealership. The advertised price built on discounts you will never qualify for, the add-ons nobody asked for, the fees that appear at the desk. I saw it every day. This exists so it never happens to you.

What ZIP code are you in?

This helps me narrow down which dealers are around you.

When are you buying?
Realistically, where does the final price of the car land?

This would be after taxes.

Are you good putting in a few hours yourself?

I handle the car and the dealer. You handle two things: picking the car and getting a pre-approval from your bank or credit union. It's a few hours, and it's where our negotiating power comes from.

Last card. Where do I reach you?
