The Auto Buying Service a new way to buy preowned cars!
The Auto Buying Service helps busy people find and finance Pre-Owned and Certified Pre-Owned cars at deep discounts over conventional auto dealers. Proprietary processes and technology find, inspect, negotiate and deliver high quality pre-owned vehicles at great prices every day. Here are just a couple of ways we are different from both dealers, auto brokers and other car buying services:
- No used car lots. You don't pay for lot overhead and you are not restricted to the vehicles on the lot. Instead you send qualified inspectors, test drivers and negotiators out to buy your car for you!
- Set Markup. No haggling over price. We apply a standard markup based on your vehicle's wholesale price. You save $ thousands over Kelly Blue Book pricing. But, that doesn't mean we skip. There are six layers of buyer protection from extended warranties to buy-back guarantees.
- No Auto Loan Markup. Unlike lot-based dealers, we never markup the lender-approved interest rate. You'll save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by comparing lender offers side by side.
Take a look at some of the other things that make
The Auto Buying Service unique. We think you'll agree it's a great way to save money when buying a preowned car!
Get immediate access to the widest selection of cars!
With 23 million used autos sold in the U.S. each year, we've had to get pretty sophisticated to find the best ones. While the source used to find your vehicle varies based on make/model, year and state, our top sources include:
- Corporate Fleets
- "Captive" Finance Companies
- Banks and Independent Auto Finance Companies
- Rental Fleets
- Franchise and Independent Dealerships
- Vehicle Wholesalers
Read about each of these sources in detail including the types of cars supplied by each. We think you'll agree no dealer or car buying service can match our reach!
Save money on your auto loan!
The Auto Buying Service associates work with you to build your best auto loan application. Our credit specialists then match your application to the lending criteria of our partner banks. We narrow the list of our twenty (20) financing partners presenting your application to two or more.
The result: your custom Auto Financing Report which lets you compare your auto loan and auto lease options side by side.
Oh, one more thing. The Auto Buying Service will never "mark-up" the interest rate on your auto loan. We pass the bank approved rate straight on to you. It's just another way we save our clients moneny. Ask your lot-based auto dealer or car buying service if he/she will do the same!
...let alone our Certified Preowned program!
In order to qualify as Certified Preowned Auto at The Auto Buying Service, a vehicle must pass rigorous selection criteria, two detailed inspections by qualified technicians and include an industry-leading warranty.
For example, any car that has had more than one owner, is older than 5 model years, has more than 60,000 miles, has a title defect, or has had frame damage is immediately excluded.
But, passing those tests is just the beginning. Now the car is ready for not one but two inspections. The first, a 150-point inspection is conducted by The Auto Buying Service. The second, is conducted by an independent, third party inspector.
Sound tough? We wouldn't have it any other way! Read more about our Certified Pre-Owned Program. Compare it to ones offered at your local dealer or car buying service!
