What you get

Your deal, side by side, on one page.

Every review comes back as a clear report: the dealer's numbers next to what the deal should be, line by line, with the savings added up for you.

  • Dealer's deal vs. your deal for price, add-ons, fees, trade, tax and rate
  • Amount financed and interest saved, so you see the real cost, not just the payment
  • Every figure adds up, down to the cent
  • Exactly what to say to the dealer, word for word
In this example$6,174.00 saved$86 less a month over 72 months

Buying a car?

Send me your deal before you sign.

Snap a photo of the worksheet, buyer's order or lease quote. I'll review every line and show you where the deal can be improved.

Where the money hides

I know where the money hides, because I used to put it there.

Most buyers only negotiate the payment. The real money is in the details.

Inflated price

Market adjustments, “dealer packages” and a selling price above what the car is really going for.

Padded fees

Prep, reconditioning, etching, nitrogen tires and doc fees that are higher than they should be.

Add-ons you didn't ask for

Protection packages, paint sealant and tracking devices slipped into the price or the payment.

Marked-up interest rate

Dealers can add points on top of the rate the bank actually approved you for. Over a loan, that adds up fast.

Lowball trade offer

A trade value below what your car is worth, hidden by a “great” discount somewhere else.

Payment games

A longer term or packed-in products to hit your “monthly budget” while the total cost goes up.

Choose your level of service

Clarity before commitment.

Start with a focused review or choose complete negotiation support.
