"Oren found the car I wanted at a fantastic price"
In October 2006, Authority Auto helped me purchase a new 2007 Lexus IS350. There were many things that I liked about working with Authority Auto; here are just a few:
- Alignment of Interests - Authority Auto's only interest was in getting me the best deal. Other auto brokers get paid either from the dealer or under contracts that would have forced me to purchase a car at a defined price. With Authority Auto, my interests and theirs were the same interest.
- No pressure - Brokers (be they stock brokers, real estate brokers, or auto brokers) arguably have the incentive to close any deal as fast as possible. Despite this incentive, however, Authority Auto understood that this is a referral business, and that happy customers will bring them future business. They were happy to work at my pace, and wasn't happy until I was happy.
- Resourcefulness - Ironically, Authority Auto found the best deal at my local dealer, not one hundreds of miles away, though he researched many other dealers as well.
- Negotiating Skill - Authority Auto found the car I wanted at a fantastic price, and set up an appointment for me to go in and view the vehicle. Unfortunately, when I arrived, they made me wait for 20 minutes before they told me that the car I was waiting to see had just been sold. For this 20 minute inconvenience,Authority Auto was able to squeeze the dealer for an additional $1000 on the trade in. Add that to what he saved me off the sticker price (about 11%), and itâs obvious that they added a huge amount of value to the transaction.
Authority Autofound me a far better deal than I could find for myself, and he saved me a lot of both time and money. They are professional, courteous, diligent, and responsible. I would use them again without hesitation.
