My name is Neel Mehta, the Co-Founder and Chief Negotiator at Car Concierge Pro. These days, buying a car is not a want but a need.

The final few months of the year are often the best time to go for a Car Concierge since sales associates are typically eager to accomplish their objectives and may give considerable discounts during this period. This makes the last few months of the year’s best time to buy a car. You should, however, consider the beginning of the week and the holidays when deciding.

Holidays like July 4th and the arrival of new models at the beginning of the year are your best bet if you’re looking to get a hefty discount on a new car at Car Concierge. The best time to buy a car is when you get the vehicle you want at amazing deals at.

By charging clients for “hidden” fees or “dealer add-ons,” Car Concierge gain millions, if not billions, over the long term (addendum).

It is anticipated that total new-vehicle sales for the month of August 2022, including retail and non-retail transactions, will reach 1,136,800 vehicles, representing a growth of 0.6% compared to August 2021.

While buying a new or used car, the most common ones where an informed customer must avoid paying or negotiate are:

How to get the best deal from the car dealer?

You will need more than just impeccable timing to receive a reasonable price on a car purchase at Car Concierge, regardless of when you decide to make the purchase. To know if you can get the best rates on an auto loan, you need to understand your financial situation comprehensively.

Moody advises, “Know what you can afford to spend.” If you come across an offer for financing at 0% interest, take note that it is reserved for those with outstanding credit. You may get a better idea of whether or not the bargain the dealer is providing you is decent by getting a few other estimates from different independent car loan providers. Check out the rebates instead of looking into interest-free financing if you want a new or certified pre-owned vehicle. You could end up saving more money this way.

Spend some time working on your credit score and doing some preliminary research before purchasing a new vehicle at Car Concierge so that you may save costs as much as possible. When you get to the dealership, doing primary research will offer you more negotiation power and help you avoid frequent errors people make when buying cars.

Considerations Regarding the Car Buying Market in 2023

The worldwide shortage of components brought on by the coronavirus epidemic and problems with the supply chain has led to a dramatic increase in the cost of automobiles and Car Concierge services. CBS stated that there is a possibility that the scarcity may persist until 2023.

According to the J.D. Power June 2022 U.S. Automotive Forecast findings, the average transaction price for the first six months of 2022 reached a new high of $44,907, an increase of 17.5 percent from 2021. According to Thomas King, president of the data and analytics business at J.D. Power, “the inventory constraints that have lowered volumes, nevertheless drove up prices and profits, are showing no indications of recovery.”

According to King, “Retail inventory is on target to close below 900,000 units for the ninth consecutive month in June 2022,” which will be a significant milestone.

Due to the inventory shortage, dealers will continue attempting to make up for lost earnings, which will keep prices high. According to research conducted by Kelley Blue Book in April 2022, customers shopping in the non-luxury market spent an average of $1,030 more than the sticker price of the vehicle they purchased at Car Concierge.

I recently purchased a used 2017 Subaru Outback Limited via Car Concierge Pro. The experience was definitely a positive one overall. As someone who purchases a car once a decade or so, I simply do not trust dealerships. They have a variety of tactics to hide the truth about pricing and vehicle history to squeeze every penny from you. Services like Carvana and Carmax charge more for negotiation-free purchasing (shouldn't it be the other way around?) and up-sell you on warranties, Either way, you’re at a disadvantage. So I went looking for an alternative and ran across the concierge option. I chose Car Concierge Pro because pricing and payment are straightforward, and they're technologically more up to speed than their competitors. Everyone on the team assigned to me was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. My experience was more of a collaborative effort with quite a bit of back and forth around searching, researching, and negotiating. The team was with me every step of the way, handling all the legwork or providing guidance and assistance as necessary. You can be as hand-off or hands-on as you like. If you want to handle searching yourself and let them handle negotiations, you can do that too. Here are some helpful learnings if you decide to go the same route. 1) Try to research models and narrow down what you're after ahead of time. Best model years, common failures, expected repair costs (Consumer Reports, CoPilot, and ChatGPT were very helpful), regional pricing trends (see Auto Tempest). This isn't a requirement, but I personally found it to be helpful. Doing so will help your team hit the ground running and alleviate some stress for you early on. Of course, they’re there to help you dial in on your preferences as well. And keep in mind things may evolve and shift as part of the process. As an example, I focused on the 2019 and later model of Subaru Crosstrek PHEV initially before realizing battery replacement would be a huge hidden expense for very limited range. I discussed this with my team and we pivoted accordingly. 2) Keep your eye on the details. Dealerships might say one thing and do another, or they'll inflate the numbers in one area (like optional packages) to give the illusion of a deal. They might even take favorable photos to hide flaws (like a cracked front bumper on one of the listings I picked). Your team will be very vigilant for these tactics, but it doesn't hurt to be redundant if you're inclined to. For obvious reasons, dealerships do not like dealing with concierges, so they might try and sneak things past them if they realize who they’re dealing with. Your team will reiterate this before closing the deal and signing any papers. 3) Use Lemon Squad for pre-purchase inspections. Ordering an inspection from their site is dead simple, especially compared to their competitors. You'll get photos, video, diagnostic scans, a test drive, and a report, which you can share with your team or knowledgeable friends / family for feedback and use to negotiate further. Better pricing might be available via a local mechanic, but for remote inspections, Lemon Squad is the way to go. As of this writing, pricing starts at $220. You probably don't want to pay for more than two inspections (the money adds up quickly, obviously), so use them once you're ready to commit to a vehicle assuming everything looks good. 4) Use a reasonable search area and adjust accordingly. The wider the search area, the better range of pricing and deals. One caveat is that shipping can get pricey and cut into your savings the further out you go. My suggestion is to stick within a 1000 mile range initially. If you find a good deal on the edge of that range, it might be cheaper to fly out to pick up the car and drive it back. A 16 hour drive is much more doable than a 26 hour drive. All in all, I’ll be going this route again in the future when the time comes. The options + savings are better and it alleviates a notable degree of stress from a generally unpleasant experience. And I can’t recommend Neel and his team enough.

I had a very good experience with Car Concierge Pro. Shainit and the gang kept me informed every step of the way, found the car I was looking for and helped me sell my car. Everything was smooth and they were always accessible for questions, etc. Very glad for their firm and strongly recommend.

Shainit did a great job. Service was worth it. He found a car for me 100 miles away when multiple dealers told me there were no models available within 400 miles, and my only alternative was to order this model from factory, which would take a few months and the price was not guaranteed. Appreciate Shainit’s assistance. Thanks
