Our Approach
We're here for you. Our service includes: consulting, locating, negotiating, trade ins, delivery, and after sale support. We will take care of the entire process on your behalf. Our "all inclusive" approach is why Cartelligent remains the smartest way to buy or lease a new car. Our service and relationship with you begins with a phone consultation to understand what your needs and interests are for your new car. We then go to work on your behalf searching for your requested car with just the options and specifications you are looking for. We'll search the inventory of every dealer in the state, and beyond if necessary, and compare prices from at least six dealers (the average consumer shops two). If questions come up during the search, we'll get in touch with you and discuss the results to ensure your expectations are being met.
Your Cartelligent Account Executive will work with our purchasing team to negotiate the price for your purchase or lease and will keep you informed throughout the process until you are satisfied and agree to the terms. If you have a trade in, we will gather up to 10 bids in addition to what the dealer will offer for your old car. Finally, we'll make arrangements with you to take delivery of your new car at your convenience at which time a Delivery Specialist will give you a thorough introduction and overview of all of the features of your new car.
The entire service from consultation through new car delivery and beyond is designed to save you time and money. We are so confident that we can provide you with an exceptional new car buying experience that we back our service with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied for any reason we will refund your entire fee.
We want you to love the new car buying experience as much as you love your car and we create relationships with our valued clients - it's no wonder over 95% of our customers happily recommend us to their friends and family.
Consulting
We get to know you, your needs, lifestyle, price range and the cars you love. Not sure what you're looking for? We'll help you decide. We have a qualified team of automotive industry experts ready to advise on best makes, models and options that work for you and your life.
Find Your New Car
We find exactly the new car you want, at the new car price you like, from an authorized dealer in about 24 hours.
Negotiate Price
We represent your interests when negotiating with dealers on pricing, leasing, manufacturer rebates, MSRP, invoice, and hidden incentives. You can save thousands of dollars and get the very best terms. Remember, there’s usually more to a car deal than just price.
Handle Trade-In
Our vast network of used car dealers can access our proprietary auction system to bid for your trade-in. The value of your trade-in will not affect the price of your new car. You get a low price for your new car and a fair market price for your trade-in. Just bring in your trade-in when you pick up your new car and we will take care of the rest.
Arrange Financing
Our best financing and leasing rates, including manufacturers' subsidized special offers, get you the best drive-off amount, best monthly payment, best "money factor" (the lease's effective interest rate), and the highest residual value.
Save Money
All of our clients find value in our service beyond our flat rate. We're car experts - we can save you time, money and hassle.
Schedule Delivery
We make it easy, enjoyable and fun. Your new car is waiting for you at our place. You come in, we explain your car’s features, you’re out the door, on the road, and smiling in less than an hour.
