There is no catch. We’re a customer service first company and that’s what you’re paying for. We work hard to find the right car for you, saving you hours of online research, dealership visits, and time at the negotiating table.

For most clients it’s between 1 – 5 days. We work on your schedule to get your new car when you want it. We can also help you special order your precise build in 2-3 months.

Services like TrueCar and Costco are actually paid lead generation platforms for dealerships. They offer clients a pre-negotiated price off MSRP, but you will need to go to a dealership to negotiate the remainder of the transaction.

Cartelligent can get you the same pricing or lower, plus we negotiate the entirety of the deal including lease or finance rates. Signing the paperwork at a Cartelligent delivery center typically takes about 20 minutes, compared to four plus hours at most dealerships.

You are buying the car from a franchised, licensed new car dealer. You will be the first owner of the vehicle and it will come with the full manufacturer’s warranty. You can get the car serviced at any authorized dealer that is convenient for you.

Cartelligent clients pay a nominal package price to begin the search process. Because the work that we do often costs more than this, we may receive a fee from the dealer, as appropriate, for the new vehicle or for arranging trade-ins and aftermarket accessories. Cartelligent clients typically save money overall as compared to negotiating the price, finance terms, aftermarkets and trade-in on their own.

Our service is 100% guaranteed. If you decide not to work with us for any reason, just let us know and we’ll refund your money in full.

Many customers save thousands of dollars off MSRP. We work together to make sure that you not only get a great price on the vehicle, but also on lease and finance rates, trade-in value and any additional products that make sense for you.

Our service requires a team of professionals, from sales to purchasing to delivery, dedicated to making it easy and enjoyable for you to get a great price on the car you want. We charge for the time that this takes, but our goal is always to save you at least our service price over what you might have negotiated yourself in addition to the time and stress we save.

We charge for our service when you decide to hire us to find the new car you want at a great price. This also allows us to maintain our below-market pricing by taking only serious buyers to dealerships.
