1. Click "Make Offer" on any vehicle-specific page.
2. Enter: (a) Select Your State; (b) Name; (c) Email; (d) Your Offer Amount. In 2e, you'll notice real time calculators giving you an "Out the Door" total for shipping or picking the vehicle up in person. Click on "Drive Home" or "Professionally Ship" to select your option. (You can change this option later). Finally, click 2f. to confirm and send the offer.
3. You can continue to surf the site, or simply leave the page open. When we reply, you'll see an exclamation mark badge automatically appear -- no page reloading needed. Then, simply click on the "Make Offer" tab to see our reply. We typically respond in minutes. You will also be emailed a link to this page.
4. You will see our reply. Three things can happen:
(a) Accept: You will be taken to our acceptance page and prompted for your information. Once entered, you will be given a special "MyCar" webpage with your total, documents (purchase agreement, title images, etc), and transaction status.
(b) Decline: We try to at least counter, but if we feel that your opening offer is unreasonably low, we will decline.
(c) Counter: A new, counter offer price will be displayed.
5. If you select to recounter, you will see the #5 image. You can enter your new offer and comments to us. Your "Out the Door" total will be calculated in real time to the right.
6. We are both limited to 2 counter offers.
7. If either of us accept, please remember that you are not bound to purchase the vehicle. Instead, this is where we encourage you to set up a time and inspect the vehicle yourself.
8. Your custom "MyCar" page will provide all of the information you need for shipping and payment.
How This System Benefits You
1. Buy vehicles from home with complete confidence.
2. Do not waste hours, if not days, buying a vehicle at a dealer.
3. Very fast price negotiations -- most are under 10 minutes.
4. Once we agree on a price, if you elect to personally inspect, you're simply confirming that it's the same vehicle you saw online and properly represented.
5. Take delivery of your vehicle and leave within 20 minutes! Most of our customers say it's the fastest and most pleasant vehicle buying experience of their life.
6. It's no pressure and fun!
Why It Works And Why It's The Future
Two reasons. First, we provide the most detailed ads on the entire Internet: Hundreds of pictures. A 9 minute driving video. And a very detailed description. You know the vehicle, in most cases, BETTER than if you inspected it in person. We learned how to create these ads from our eBay experience where we have sold hundreds of vehicles -- with 100% feedback.
eBay presents a unique challenge. In most cases, both the buyer and seller will enter into a binding sales contract before the buyer personally inspects the vehicle. Fighting this eBay disclosure challenge since 2002 created the ads you see on this website today. Our formula is refined and proven -- if you view our ad, you know our vehicle.
The second reason is the revolutionary "offer/acceptance" online negotiation system. As the economy faltered and customers demanded better deals, we looked for ways to trim our costs and pass the savings to you. Our online negotiation system allowed us to get rid of our entire sales staff! That's right, we do not have a single sales person. In fact, after we take pictures for the online ads, the vehicles go outside where they get dirty and sit. Moreover, we were able to move into an industrial area where the traffic count is low and, accordingly, land is cheap.
That's why we do not allow pre-negotiation inspections -- we do not have sales staff and the vehicle is not presentable. Once we get a price agreement and you decide to personally inspect, then we prep the vehicle for a test drive and make sure that you are greeted when you arrive.
Eventually, all dealers will adopt this model because the public will demand it. Comparing us to a traditional dealer is very similar to comparing Amazon.com to Macys. We accept lower margins, sell our products for less, and operate with far less overhead.
