Buying service · purchase charges

See pricing free. Review the charges before you bid.

Review local asking prices and auction valuations without a subscription. Our flat $1,500 buying-service fee is billed only if we win; vehicle and other purchase charges are separate. Research subscriptions are a separate product.

We bid for you

Done-For-You · $1,500 flat

The full service. You approve the maximum bid. We bid at the live auction lanes, win the unit, handle title, and deliver. One flat fee — never a percentage. The same paperwork on a $22,000 Corolla as a $68,000 Tahoe.

Deal Analyst subscribers get $500 credit — effectively $1,000 when you hire us to execute.

Pricing FAQ

Why not charge a percentage of the sale?: A percentage gives the agent an incentive to push you into a more expensive car. We took that incentive off the table. The paperwork on a $22,000 sedan is identical to the paperwork on a $68,000 SUV.
Can I subscribe and never hire you to bid?: Absolutely. Most subscribers research for 3–9 months before they buy anything. Some never hire us and just use the intel to negotiate with a local dealer. Either way we deliver value.
What's the catch with the $500 credit?: No catch. Subscribe to Deal Analyst for any 3+ months, and when you hire us to execute, we credit $500 toward the $1,500 fee. Your net out-of-pocket on the bid service becomes $1,000.
Refund policy?: 30-day money-back on your first month of any subscription, no questions asked. The $1,500 bid fee is billed only when we win a vehicle for you — not before.
Is my payment secure?: Subscriptions process through Stripe. We never see or store your card.
