How much money will I save?
If someone out there has a “perfect” answer for this question — please let me know!!!! As in….pretty please with two cherries on top. 🍒 🍒 !

On a serious note, this is an impossible question for me to answer with a “number” or an “amount.”

There are many ways to save you money when working with car dealerships. To complicate matters – these will often vary dramatically from dealership to dealership. I pay attention to them ALL.
Where do you get your clients?
#1 – Previous Clients
#2 – Referrals and/or Word of Mouth
#3 – LinkedIn

Why LinkedIn???

LinkedIn, in general, very clearly aligns with “my “ideal customer profile!!”

➣ Professionals who want the right car at the right price.
➣ Professionals desiring a no hassle, save time efficient approach.
➣ Professionals that prefer all of the pricing & car research done for them.
➣ Professionals wishing to avoid the “traditional” dealership experience.
How much time will I save by using your service?
Lots of time is my short, concise answer to this question!

Time saved isn’t just time at the dealership but also the time spent researching, setting up test drives, doing market research and speaking with and negotiating with multiple dealerships.

If you’re taking delivery and doing paperwork in person at the dealership 90 minutes to two hours is the target goal for total time spent at the dealership. It is a big purchase! (And you may wish to learn the features!)
What if I decide not to buy or purchase on my own?
If you do not purchase a vehicle with my assistance you will not pay the remainder of my service fee. The $200 will not be refunded but can be “transferred” to a future car purchase or family/friend.
What about trade-ins?
Handling a potential trade-in is included in my services!
Where are you located?
I am available to assist Clients anywhere in the USA!!!
Do you work with specific dealerships?
The Car Bulldog is not associated with any dealerships directly nor do I take “kick back” or “broker fees” from dealerships. Rarely, a dealership insists and I donate the funds to the Old Dog Haven in Washington State.
Do I need to be ready to buy right now?
No! In fact, the earlier I get involved in the process the better! We’ll have fun and formulate a plan on how you would like the process to go!
How will I get my car?
A majority of my Clients pick up their vehicle directly at the dealership.

Additional options would be delivery either by the dealership or a transport company. If this is a “must” then I simply only work with dealerships that are willing to do the purchase in a way that aligns with one of these additional options.
Will you help with the finance or lease process?
Yes! I will assist you in multiple ways with the finance process and also navigate if financing through the dealership or elsewhere is going to save you the most money.
Will it fit in my budget?
Yes! I have a list of onboarding questions I discuss with every Client. Budget is an extensive part of this process.
What if I have a unique situation?
Let’s chat!! A high majority of the time I will have an idea, path forward to suggestions! (Even if it’s not hiring me….)
