Car buying service and auto broker, flat $1,000
Updated
DriveEasier is a car buying service: you tell us the car, and a person sources it from dealers within about 50 miles, negotiates the price, fees, add-ons, financing and your trade-in, and brings back one exact out-the-door quote in writing for you to approve. The fee is a flat $1,000, and dealers pay us nothing.
What a car buying service does
A car buying service, also called an auto broker, car broker or car buying concierge, is someone who shops and negotiates a car for you. You never sit in a showroom. Dealers compete for the deal; you decide at home.
DriveEasier is a person, not a marketplace. We are not a dealer or a lender: we never take ownership of the car, and we do not arrange or make loans. The purchase contract is between you and the dealer.
| Part of the deal | DriveEasier | You |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the car | Searches dealer inventory, usually within about 50 miles, and confirms the car is on the lot | Say what you want, your budget and your timeline |
| Price, fees and add-ons | Negotiates them with one or more dealers and gets itemized out-the-door quotes in writing | Approve one exact quote, or don't |
| Financing | Helps you compare dealer financing with outside financing and guides pre-approval | Apply for credit yourself, directly with the lender |
| Trade-in | Prices it separately from the new car | Decide whether to trade |
| The finish | Lines up the paperwork and pickup, or shipping | Sign directly with the dealer |
What it costs
The first call is free: a 15-minute consultation on buy or lease and what we would go after on your car. Full service is a flat $1,000, paid up front. No markup and no percentage of the car. The fee is separate from the car's price and from what you pay the dealer, your lender, taxes, registration, title and shipping.
We never take a cut from dealers or lenders, so your fee is the only money we make and the only number we work for is yours. Most clients save $3,000 to $5,000; that is a typical result, not a promise, and every deal is priced in writing.
| When you ask | Refund of the fee you paid |
|---|---|
| Within 24 hours of payment | 100% |
| After 24 hours, until you sign the vehicle paperwork | 50%, for any reason |
| After you sign the vehicle paperwork | No refund |
New, used, buy or lease
Buy or lease, any brand. We do new cars every day and used ones case by case; we will tell you up front. If you are leasing, see our lease broker page. We start with every dealer within 50 miles; when the right car is farther away, we arrange the shipping to your door.
How long it takes
Most deals take 3 to 5 days from payment to keys, depending on the vehicle. Shipping logistics may take longer. These are estimates, not promises. The steps are on How it works.
Is it worth it?
It suits you if you already know roughly what you want and would rather not spend hours on calls and dealership visits, or wonder afterwards whether you overpaid. If you would rather run the negotiation yourself, our guides cover the out-the-door price, dealer fees and how to negotiate.
