| What you don't have to put up with when using AutoReps to buy or lease a new car or new truck.
Tired of haggling? Hate feeling
pressured to buy ?
Enjoy negotiating? Having trouble finding a fair price?
Tired of settling for a car that wasn’t exactly what
you wanted or for the price you wanted?
Sick of wasting hours out of your day?
Want to get away from all of this? Then, you have
come to the right place!
We takes the hassle out of buying a new car.
How? We do all the work for you! Plus our {made-to-order
pricing and availability research} for the {specific}
vehicle you want will save you time, money, and aggravation.
When doing new car comparison pricing, what makes AutoReps different than other car buying online
services?
It is simple. We know our business
and know how and where to find low prices.
Our owner and General Manager, Bob Peralta, has 29
years experience in the new car dealership environment
including being a previous General Manager of a New
Car Dealership Group. The professional experience
of operating a new car dealership group along with
his 17 years of operating a professional new car auto
broker company means you are hiring a knowledgeable
professional to represent you in getting what you
want at a fair and reasonable price.
Our business practices have been approved and certified
by the Better Business Bureau with no complaints in
our 17 year history.
We do business in writing { as long as you have an
E mail address or fax number}. That means no hidden
agendas. No surprises and no pressure to buy now.
We make no attempts to sell you. We do not tell you
what to buy. You tell us.
We are a fee based service which means we charge an
advance fee {prior} to giving you prices and/or providing
consultation services. This service fee is designed
to attract serious buyers only and partially reimburses
us for our time and expertise in providing excellent
service.
Our service fees are indicated below:
Our service fee charge for pricing for the purchase
of a new car or purchase of a new truck is only $50
in the State of California. {Visa/MasterCard accepted}.
This service fee is refundable if you buy elsewhere
for less. {see our refund policy for exact details}.
There are no other fees you pay us as the new car
dealer pays the balance of our service fee for referring
and arranging the sale of their new vehicle.
Our service fee charge for pricing on a {lease } of
a new car or {lease} of a new truck is only $50 in
the State of California. {Visa/MasterCard accepted}.
Note, our $50 service fee for {lease quotes} and {leasing
research} is non-refundable. There are no other fees
you pay us as the new car dealer pays the balance
of our service fee for arranging the lease.
Service fee rates from states other than California
are determined on a case by case basis.
Our written price quote is valid for 72 hours and
is based on the supply and demand of the particular
vehicle you want at the time of your inquiry. After
the 72 hour time period has expired, the price "may"
be subject to change, either to a higher price; a
lower price; or stay the same as previously quoted.
After the 72 hour time period has expired, our $50
service fee charge automatically becomes non-refundable.
However, after the 72 hour time period has expired,
if you would like us to re-quote the same vehicle
{whether it be the exact same equipment or even different
equipment than as originally quoted}, we will do so
on a one-time basis only at no additional cost to
you.
If you take the time to review our testimonials section,
you will find our clients enjoy fair and competitive
pricing, professional advice, personal attention to
detail, and timely, phone and email updates during
our process of finding you what you want.
{Be sure to read our policy about meeting your expectations}
What is your policy for meeting my expectations?
The bitterness of poor service
remains long after the sweetness of a low price is
forgotten.
We treat people the way we want to be treated; with
courtesy, respect and we pay attention to detail.
Getting a low price is an important consideration.
Equally important is how you are treated before, during
and after the transaction. We don’t do business with
car dealers that are not courteous and respectful.
We don’t do business with car dealers that offer cars
for delivery that are dirty, scratched, or have something
wrong with them. We don't do business with car dealers
that change the selling price of the car or try to
sneak something in on your transaction that you had
not previously requested. The bottom line is we don't
do business with any new car dealer unless they meet
or exceed our {and your} expectations.
When you ask us to arrange a new car sale for you;
whether you take delivery at the new car dealership,
or at your home or office; we insist; as a matter
of policy; {prior} to the signing of any paperwork
or handling of money; that you first physically inspect
the vehicle to make sure it is not damaged {scratches,
dents, etc.}.
We constantly monitor our business partners {new car
dealers}. As a client, you are a big part of this
monitoring process as we E mail you a follow up survey
that we ask you to complete after you have taken delivery.
This report card is extremely important to us since
you are our client. What you report will be a deciding
factor in whether we do business with that particular
new car dealer in the future. It is our way of knowing
which new car dealers are treating our clients with
courtesy and respect, and delivering what every new
car owner should get .... a perfect car.
Lastly, in our 17 years of doing business; due to
our pre-screening and constant monitoring process;
we have “never” had a new car delivery where our clients
did not take delivery of their new vehicle.
Why should I use your new car buying service for new car
pricing research, locating a new car, and getting
what I want at a fair and competitive price?
The secret is not only to know
the right people, but also for the right people to
know you. With 29 years experience, 17 years in which
he has owned his own company, Bob Peralta has the
industry contacts to help you find what you want at
a fair and reasonable price.
Based on our proprietary information gathering techniques
developed over 17 years in business, we negotiate
what we know to be a fair price; let you know in writing
and in advance what the numbers are so that you can
make your own purchase decision at your own pace and
time.
Our normal two-step process applies in most situations
as follows:
1. We do { made-to-order pricing research } for the
specific vehicle { as requested by you }. This new
car pricing research normally can take anywhere from
minutes to up to a week to complete depending upon
what you are looking for and how busy we are at the
time of your inquiry. When finished, we E mail the
results of our new car pricing research to you which
includes an out-the-door price on the new vehicle
with the factory-installed options as specifically
requested by you. Note, you have no obligation to
proceed with our locating a vehicle on your behalf
unless you choose to proceed in doing so upon your
own initiative.
2. After you receive the new car pricing research
results, and you choose to proceed; then we can normally
arrange delivery within 1 to 3 days from your notification
to us that you want to get your new car. In most cases,
you can choose to take delivery at the new car dealership
or maybe even at your home or office.
How do I know if you can help me?
We do not know if our service
will benefit you until you E mail, call, or fill out
on new car online worksheet and tell us your situation
including the exact new car or new truck that you
want to purchase or lease.
Our decision to assist will be based a combination
of factors such as where you live {city, state}; what
you want; when you want it; how far are you willing
to travel to get it, and other issues which may be
unique to your situation.
For example, depending on your particular situation,
we may
- provide consultation services only. {i.e., professional
advice on when to buy or sell; financing; lease vs
buy; getting rid of your used vehicle; what to buy;
how to buy or sell; etc.}
- provide pricing information only. {i.e., tell us
exactly what you want, we price it for your area}
- act as a pricing and locating service where we actually
arrange and coordinate delivery of a new vehicle on
your behalf.
- based on the information you provide, determine
that we cannot assist you.
That is why we suggest you fill out our new car online
worksheet, send us an E mail, or call. The more you
tell us about your situation, the more quickly we
can determine if our service will benefit you.
If we can assist, we will let you know. If we cannot
assist, we will not waste your time and let you know
that too.
Regardless, at the time of your inquiry, we will either
E mail and/or call you to let you know if we can assist
along with the time frame in which we can provide
assistance to you. Providing as much information as
possible with your initial request will help us more
readily determine if we can help you.
What do you charge for your service?
We charge an advance fee {prior}
to giving you prices and/or providing consultation
services. This service fee is designed to attract
serious buyers only and partially reimburses us for
our time and expertise in providing excellent service.
Our service fee charge for pricing for the purchase
of a new car or purchase of a new truck is only $50
in the State of California. {Visa/MasterCard accepted}.
This service fee is refundable if you buy elsewhere
for less. {see our refund policy for exact details}.
There are no other fees you pay us as the new car
dealer pays the balance of our service fee for referring
and arranging the sale of their new vehicle.
Our service fee charge for pricing on a {lease } of
a new car or {lease} of a new truck is only $50 in
the State of California. {Visa/MasterCard accepted}.
Note, our $50 service fee for {lease quotes} and {leasing
research} is non-refundable. There are no other fees
you pay us as the new car dealer pays the balance
of our service fee for arranging the lease.
Sometimes our service fee structure may be different
based on the state in which you live, your specific
situation, and/or special promotions we may offer
from time to time. In all situations, you will always
know and agree in writing in advance; what our service
fee will be to provide service to you in your particular
situation.
When do I pay the service fee?
If we determine we can assist
you, then our service fee is always payable in advance
which means you pay the fee {before} we give you a
price or provide any other consultation.
Why do you charge a fee {before} you give us a price?
We charge a service fee {prior}
to giving you a price because we know our information
including professional consultation will save you
time, money, and aggravation.
Since we do {made-to-order pricing and availability
research} for the {specific} vehicle you want; this
service fee reimburses us for our time and expertise.
The bottom line is that paying our service fee is
cheap insurance and a great way to make sure that
you don't overpay for whatever new vehicle you plan
on purchasing or leasing.
What are your prices based on?
Our prices are "not" based on
factory invoice, dealer cost, or the Manufacturer's
Suggested Retail Price{MSRP}.
Our prices are based solely on supply and demand of
the specific new car or new truck that you want to
purchase at the specfic time that you want it.
Because of supply and demand factors, the resulting
best prices we find for the specific vehicle you want
could be any one of the following:
---- Less than factory invoice/dealer cost;
---- Somewhere between factory invoice/dealer cost
and the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price(MSRP);
or
---- Higher than the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Price(MSRP).
At the very minimum, most reasonable people do not
mind paying the going rate. What they do mind is when
they over pay. Our researched results will give you
piece of mind knowing that you are not over paying.
How long are your prices valid?
Our written price quote is valid
for 72 hours and is based on the supply and demand
of the particular vehicle you want at the time of
your inquiry. After the 72 hour time period has expired,
the price "may" be subject to change, either to a
higher price; a lower price; or stay the same as previously
quoted.
After the 72 hour time period has expired, our $50
service fee charge automatically becomes non-refundable.
However, after the 72 hour time period has expired,
if you would like us to re-quote the same vehicle
{whether it be the exact same equipment or even different
equipment than as originally quoted}, we will do so
on a one-time basis only at no additional cost to
you.
In what order is your service performed?
Our service is normally a two-step
process;
Step #1 > Price shopping research
This price shopping normally takes a few minutes to
a week from the time we start the process and is based
on how busy we are when you contact us and also on
the availability of the specific vehicle you want.
During our price shopping process; we don't attempt
to locate the new vehicle of your choice for two reasons:
#1. You can't decide if you want a particular vehicle
until you know what you are going to pay for it.
#2. Just because a vehicle is available at a dealership
when we are doing our pricing research doesn't mean
it is still going to be available when you, the consumer,
choose that you want to proceed.
{For 17 years, the new car dealers we do business
with have committed and guaranteed the price we quote
for 72 hours from the time we E mail you the written
price quote. Within this time period, that means if
they don't have the vehicle, they will go find it
at the price we quote as long as the vehicle is exists
and is available.}
When our pricing research is completed, the best price
we find will be E mailed to you and will include all
fees that would be due and payable upon delivery such
as sales tax, documentation fee, and license fee,
plus any other government and/or statutory fees that
may be legally required in your State when purchasing
a new vehicle. This out-the-door price will already
have been negotiated on your behalf and is based on
the assumption that this new vehicle exists in your
state with the exact, factory- installed options as
specified by you. [Factory orders okay too.]
Sept #2 > Locating and arranging for delivery
We proceed with this process "only" after you have
made a commitment to buy at the quoted price we have
E mailed to you.
{In our search, if the vehicle does not exist or is
not available, then we locate the closest optioned
vehicle to your original choice. The selling price
would then be adjusted either higher {if it has more
equipment} or lower {if it has less equipment} so
you can make your own decision if you want it or not.}
Most people normally have their new vehicles within
48 hours from the time that the search process begins.
How do I know your researched pricing is fair and reasonable?
It's simple. Once you receive
our written emailed price quote; you can shop other
sources and do you own comparison shopping.
Can you assist in the pricing and locating of high demand
vehicles?
Yes, in most cases we are able
to get discounts on high demand vehicles. If there
is a situation where we cannot get you any discounts;
then we will let you know so that we don't waste your
time .
In situations where we are not able to get discounts,
we have been very successful in getting these extremely
high demand vehicles {much faster} for you {some times
by weeks or months} than through your own efforts.
Why? Which line do you stand in at the grocery store,
the longest line or the shortest line? You can see
lines in a grocery store but you don’t have access
and the ability to see car dealer orders versus other
car dealer orders to see who has the shortest waiting
time.
Do you give out ball-park figures?
In some situations, yes. However,
this information is not free.
We will charge a {non-refundable} $25 advance fee
{before} giving you a ball park price at the time
of your request.
You will need to fill out our Online Profile Form
on our web page. In the other comments section, please
specify that you want a ball park figure only.
Why is your service fee non-refundable on lease quotes?
Finding the best lease is a
very time consuming process requiring finding the
best price on the vehicle and also finding the lending
institution that has the best lease rates and terms.
Note, all lease quotes are subject to prior credit
approval. Since we don’t known your financial status
(past/current credit history, income/debt ratio, net
worth, etc.), we would and could not be sure what
lease rate classification in which you will qualify.
Therefore, the lease quote we would email to you after
our research is completed would assume you qualify
for the best rates and terms.
If you don't qualify for the best rates, then the
lease payment would be re-adjusted to reflect your
established credit rating at the time of your application.
I already have dealer cost information, what benefits
will using your service provide?
Like most things in life, this
business in not only based on {what you know} but
also {who you know}. To get the best deals the {who
you know’s} must also {know who you are} and what
expertise you bring to the table in knowing the supply
and demand variables for the particular new car you
want.
Being in business for 17 years means we know all the
right people and they know us because we speak to
each other nearly every day.
There are many who suggest using "dealer's cost" and/or
"invoice" as the best tool for negotiating the lowest
price. However, in the real world, the best price
is also obtained by knowing the supply and demand
of that particular product at this moment in time
when you are ready to buy. This timely knowledge could
yield you a price thousands of dollars lower than
"dealer cost and/or invoice".
The bottom line is "supply and demand" plus who you
know {and do they know you?} determines the market
for any product, not its cost or retail price (ever
see a home sell for substantially less than its cost
because of a depressed market?).
And every few days, these best prices are subject
to change based on new supply and demand variables.
Without access to insider information and industry
contacts, it's very difficult and time consuming to
really find the best deal.
Simply stated... Our 17 years in business with tons
of contacts will save you time and money in finding
the right deal for you.
Who do I actually purchase this new vehicle from? Whom
is the check made out to?
In all cases, you purchase the
vehicle from a franchised, new car dealership {and
not from our company}. Your check is made payable
to that new car dealership and not our company.
In situations where a deposit is taken {for example,
in order to secure a factory order}, the deposit check
will always be made out to that particular selling
new car dealer in which your factory order is placed.
All new cars arranged for sale and delivery are subject
to availability from a franchised new car dealership.
What is included in your written price quote for California
residents?
Our written price quote is based
on "exactly" what you say you want to buy.
Our written price quote to you will itemize and specifically
state the following items:
+ Selling price {to include all factory-installed
options you specifically tell us
you want in advance; includes factory destination
freight charge}.
+ Dealer documentation fee..($45)
+ Appropriate sales tax from the county in which the
vehicle is going to be
registered.
+ License fees (estimated within $20 on cars; estimated
within $50 on trucks)
+ California tire recycling fee ($5)
- Minus any applicable, qualifying manufacturer rebates.
= an out-the-door price.
Do you take trade-ins?
Yes.
How can I get the most for my trade?
It doesn't matter "who buys"
your used vehicle; it's "who pays" the most for it.
Selling your used-vehicle on your own to a private
party almost always gets you the most money. However,
many choose to avoid strange visitors to their home,
and the time and hassle of selling a used vehicle
on their own to a private party.
The problem with trade-in's is the new-car dealer
that has the lowest price on the new vehicle may not
be the car dealer that pays the most for your used
vehicle.
That is why we treat trade-ins as a separate transaction.
That being the case, how do you know you are getting
a fair value for your trade-in? Car dealers are not
going to pay more for your used vehicle than what
they can purchase a vehicle "similar" to yours at
an "auto-auction for car dealers only". To obtain
this price, we suggest you get two to three bids from
used car dealers on the purchase of your used vehicle
without an obligation by you to buy anything from
them. Once you have obtained this information, just
compare the bid from the new car dealer with the bids
obtained on your own.
Whatever new car dealer we send you to will give you
a "courtesy bid" on your trade-in. "Courtesy bid"
means:
If you want to trade your vehicle in, you can do so.
If you choose not to trade your vehicle in, you can
do that also.
Either way, whether you trade your vehicle in or not,
the selling price of the new vehicle "does and will
not" change.
Do you have access to special manufacturer finance or
lease rates?
Yes. Subject to prior credit
approval by the lending institution, whether it be
0% - 1.9% - 2.9% - 3.9% ; if you qualify you will
get it. Call or email for details on the particular
model you want.
Can we get manufacturer's rebates when we purchase a new
car through your service? How about special lease
rates on new cars and new trucks?
Yes. All new cars and new trucks
that we price, locate, and arrange for delivery are
actually sold or leased by a franchised new car dealer
for that particular model that you want to buy or
lease. That means that you are entitled to any new
car or new truck manufacturer rebates; special financing,
special lease rates, or whatever other manufacturer
consumer incentives that you qualify for at the time
of your application.
Can you find us competitive finance rates?
During the information gathering
phase of our service, we ask you the best finance
rates and terms that you can obtain on your own through
your own bank, credit union, or other lending source.
Then, during our price shopping phase; we compare
this interest rate with rates that may be available
through the manufacturer, new car dealer or other
lending institution.
If we find better a rate, we fax you a credit application
for you to complete and return to us so we can forward
this information to that particular lending institution
in order to get your loan pre-approved in advance.
The bottom line...
Whether it be qualifying manufacturer rebates, interest
or lease rates...
if there is a better rate...we will find it.

Where do I get my new vehicle serviced for the manufacturer's
factory warranty?
While under the manufacturers
factory warranty, your new car can be serviced by
any franchised, new car dealership anywhere in the
United States which represents the make and model
you purchase. For example, if you purchase a new Toyota;
any franchised Toyota dealership anywhere in the United
States will service your vehicle under the factory
warranty. You do not have to take the vehicle back
to the new car dealer in which the car was purchased.
Regarding the new Toyota Prius Hybrid, the Honda Hybrid,
and the Mini Cooper. What is the pricing and availability
of these particular models {June 2004} ?
The following comments relate
to these 3 models {only}. These comments do not pertain
to other make and model vehicles.
There is currently more demand than supply for this
particular vehicle.
We normally charge a service fee for the use of our
service. However, in this particular circumstance,
we would not charge a service fee because we know
there is currently no available supply.
However, from time to time, we do come across an available
vehicle which are "currently" being sold at the Manufacturer's
Suggested Retail Price.
If you would like, please email us if you would like
to be put on our list so that when a Toyota Prius
becomes available, we can notify you. If so, please
indicate what exterior colors would be acceptable
in order of preference.
At this moment, we have no time frame in which we
can say a vehicle may become available; it could be
within a few days to months with the months being
the most likely case scenario at this time.
Once we receive this written email from you, we will
put you on our list of people that want either one
of these models.
If we come across an available vehicle, we will contact
you. If you do not hear from us; it is because we
have not found an available vehicle for you to purchase.
What is a "purchase agreement"?
A purchase agreement is the
legal binding document which a buyer receives when
purchasing a vehicle which shows , amongst other relevant
information, the year, make, model, vehicle identification
number of the vehicle, mileage, purchase price, purchase
date, name of the selling dealer, selling dealers
address, and authorized signature of the selling dealer.
What is a "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price Sticker"?
This official federally-required
form is attached to the vehicle (usually on one of
the windows) showing the vehicle's official make and
model number; the vehicle identification number; a
description of the factory installed options along
with their official corresponding factory option codes.
Can I factory order a new car or factory order a new truck
through your company?
Yes. Just fill out and submit
the Online Profile Form on our web page or just
email us for details and we will contact you.
