Rob just assisted Joann, a young lady who was trying to buy her first new car. She called us with a number of hair raising stories of opportunistic dealers wanting her to pay 18% interest for 72 months and come up with a huge $5000 down payment just for the privilege of buying her first new car. Joann asked for our help and Rob went to work.
After analyzing her situation, Rob negotiated with several dealers on Joann's behalf, for exactly the same vehicle When he was finished Rob arranged for Joann to purchase the same vehicle for $800 under dealer invoice. Rob was able reduced the purchase price of Joann's new car by $3,200! Rob did not stop there, he also tackled Joann's car loan.
Rob was able to reduced Joann's loan term by 12 months. (60 months instead of 72 months.) He also negotiated an amazingly low interest rate for Joann. Rob negotiated a loan rate of only 0.9 %. (Yes point nine percent.) That's a far cry from the 18% that more than one dealer told her she was lucky to get as a first time new car buyer. Rob saved Joann well over $8000 thousand dollars. Amazing what a little help can do!
