The Process
Four steps, start to keys
01
Brief us
A short intake covering make, model, budget, and terms. Ten minutes of your time, once.
02
We negotiate
We source competing quotes and negotiate price, terms, and every line-item add-on directly with dealers.
03
You approve
Final numbers arrive in writing. Nothing is signed, committed, or paid without your go-ahead.
04
You collect the car
One visit, to sign and drive. The negotiation is already finished.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do I still need to visit the dealership?
Typically once — to sign paperwork and collect the vehicle. Everything before that is handled on your behalf.
Can you arrange financing?
We negotiate price and terms. Financing and credit applications are handled directly between you and the dealer or your own lender — we never request your financial credentials.
What does the $100 actually cover?
It begins the engagement immediately — sourcing quotes and opening dealer negotiations. It is not a fee to meet with us; the initial consultation is complimentary.
Which states do you operate in?
We work with clients in select U.S. states. Tell us where you're located during your complimentary consultation and we'll confirm we can help before any engagement begins.
About
Why DealerBuffer exists
We've always loved this part — the part everyone else dreads. Comparing trims, playing dealer quotes off one another, finding the one clause buried in a lease that saves someone real money. Most people find it exhausting. We never have.
What we couldn't stand was watching people we cared about lose a Saturday to a dealership and still drive home unsure whether they'd actually gotten a fair deal. So we started negotiating on their behalf — first as a favor, then as something worth doing properly.
DealerBuffer exists to hand the part you dread to people who genuinely enjoy it. You get your time back. We get to do the thing we're good at. Everyone signs a better deal.
