Making the right vehicle choice is actually even more important than who you get it from or how much you pay for it. Obviously, you want a car or truck that you like, and that will do what you need it to do for a reasonably long time. That goes without saying. But, there’s so much more to consider.

For example, let’s say that you’re trying to choose between two similar vehicles of different brands. Let’s also say that you can get one of them for about $500 less than the other. Either one would be acceptable to you. Which one do you choose? The cheaper one, right? OK, you hop on the Internet or stop by a car lot, get the best price you can, buy it and drive it home, right? But, wait a minute…

Let’s assume you plan to keep your new car for six years. Let’s further assume that the $500 more expensive car had a better resale value and would have been worth $1,500 more when you sell it, than the cheaper car. NOW, which one would you choose? Suddenly the $500 extra you paid returns as $1,500 in six years. But wait… there’s more. What if some other vehicle in the same price range would have cost $800 less in repairs than either of the two cars you were considering? THEN, what if a much nicer model (the one you thought you couldn’t afford!) would have been actually cheaper than the above vehicles because of “secret” factory-to-dealer incentives that you didn’t know about? And, how would that car stack up against the others for maintenance costs and resale value? But, WAIT! What if you should be keeping the car you were going to replace, and trading in your other car? Are you making your move a month early? What if the rebate will be higher, next month? Should you be leasing? Do you even UNDERSTAND leasing? Should you take the rebate or the special financing? Should you pay cash or finance? For how long? And, so on.

If car buying were as simple as “I like it, I want it, I’ll take it”, you wouldn’t need us. But, in actuality, getting a new car is a huge decision, and car dealers are experts at finding one area of the deal you’re not watching carefully enough, and “taking” you. Their job is to get you to buy what they have in stock, TODAY for the largest profit possible. Your job is considerably more complicated, and we’re here to help and guide YOU through every possible alternative, until everything is as perfect as possible. Then, our job becomes finding you the exact vehicle you choose at the lowest possible fleet price, getting it to you with the best financing, plus disposing of your old car "when you sell it" for the highest wholesale price, and doing it all with complete disclosure and as quickly as possible.

If we provide you with every piece of information that you need to make a quality decision, and then obtain your new vehicle for a wonderful price, then, we’re worth using for your next new car acquisition. Right now, you might want to stop and go to “Inquiry Form” or “Contact Us” right now, and start the wheels turning. Otherwise,
