Looking for a 15-passenger van but unsure where to start?
Ed and Rachel found themselves in the same spot—overwhelmed, under-informed, and needing a reliable vehicle to transport a large group. Instead of navigating the dealership maze alone, they turned to Car Concierge Pro (CCP) and Chief Negotiator Neel Mehta for expert guidance.
The result? A customized, stress-free, dealership-free car buying experience that focused solely on their needs, budget, and lifestyle.
When Ed and Rachel approached Car Concierge Pro, they were honest and upfront.
“Yeah, it’s a 15-passenger van basically,” Rachel explained.
“We don’t know anything about them,” added Ed. “We thought maybe you had some more thoughts and knowledge about that size vans—what’s good and bad and different.”
They didn’t have a set make or model in mind. New or used? Unclear. Must-have features? Not yet defined. Like many families or organizations seeking a multi-passenger solution, they were stepping into a complicated market with little direction.
Fortunately, that’s where Car Concierge Pro thrives.

Enter Car Concierge Pro: A White-Glove Buying Experience
Neel Mehta, the founder and lead negotiator at CCP, immediately laid out the comprehensive process that has helped over 800 clients across the U.S. and Canada purchase vehicles stress-free. Whether the need is a luxury sedan, a vintage collectible, or a 15-seat van, the approach is always personalized and data-driven.
Step 1: Understanding the Client’s Needs
Neel started by explaining the intake process:
- What is the van for? (Family, business, group transport?)
- New vs. Pre-owned?
- Seating layout requirements
- Preferred features (e.g., must-have vs. must-NOT-have)
- Color and trim preferences
- Drivetrain preference (FWD, AWD, RWD?)
- Budget
- Financing method (cash, business line of credit, loan, etc.)
- Search radius (starting local and expanding outward)
Rachel and Ed didn’t have rigid requirements, but they were clear about one thing—it needed to be reliable and practical for transporting 15 people.
“You can be as specific as you want or as open as you want,” Neel assured them.
Step 2: Customized Market Research & Vehicle Comparison
Once CCP gathered Ed and Rachel’s needs, the team got to work on detailed market research, compiling an interactive document that compared:
- Makes and Models:
Including Ford Transit, Chevy Express, Ram ProMaster, GMC Savana, and Nissan NV vans. - Trim Levels and Packages
- Dealer Inventory Data:
With real-time listings including:- Stock numbers
- Mileage
- Exterior/interior color
- Proximity to the buyer
- Online pricing
- Carfax reports for used vehicles
- Elimination Filters:
Features marked in orange represented Ed and Rachel’s “deal-breaker” features—must-have capabilities that CCP filters out early to save time and prevent frustration.
Step 3: Arranging Test Drives — On Your Schedule, On Your Terms
Next, Neel’s team offers to coordinate non-pressure test drives at local dealerships. The dealerships are told upfront that the visit is only for inspection and test driving, not for closing a sale.
“They know you’re just checking it out. You’re not buying today,” Neel emphasized.
This ensures that Rachel and Ed could experience the vans without the dealership sales tactics, false urgency, or misleading numbers.
Step 4: Price Negotiation — Getting the True Out-the-Door (OTD) Price
One of CCP’s most powerful tools is negotiating the Out-the-Door (OTD) Price—which includes:
- Online vehicle price
- Dealership fees
- Sales tax
- Registration & title costs
- Any hidden charges
This ensures that there are no surprises at signing, no bait-and-switch tactics, and no confusing dealership lingo to navigate.
As Neel pointed out:
“We don’t believe in dealership promises. We get everything in writing.”
The Car Concierge Pro Difference
Unlike traditional dealerships or online listing platforms, Car Concierge Pro is not affiliated with any dealership, brand, or manufacturer. They don’t own inventory. They don’t push a sale. Their loyalty lies only with the client.
This means:
- No Commissions
- No Upselling
- No Pressure
- Transparent Process
- Full Representation for the Buyer
Neel compares it to having a real estate agent or lawyer—but for cars. An expert who understands the dealership tactics and shields you from them.
Spreadsheets, Data, and Confidence
As part of the conversation, Neel walked Ed and Rachel through real examples from past clients, including detailed side-by-side comparisons across:
- GMC vs. Nissan vs. Ford
- New vs. used vans
- Price per feature comparisons
- OTD price breakdowns
- Distance from buyer’s zip code
- Accident history and title status
- Service history availability
These documents are constantly updated in real-time to reflect changing inventory and provide analytics like availability, pricing trends, and model demand.
Even listings that have sold are left in for market research—because every data point matters.
Built-In Due Diligence
Car Concierge Pro also performs pre-purchase due diligence, reviewing:
- Carfax reports
- Vehicle titles
- Accident history
- Service history
- Past owner records
- Odometer status
- Dealership reputation
This prevents future issues that could cost thousands and makes sure the van Rachel and Ed choose is sound, roadworthy, and reliable for transporting people safely.
