Answers about acquisition
Find details on how we source, negotiate, and close your vehicle deal.
How does the acquisition process work from start to finish?
You define your vehicle and budget. We source market options, analyze pricing, and negotiate on your behalf. You review the final deal and sign the contract. We handle everything in between—valuation, trade-in strategy, and tax treatment included.
What's included in the $750 flat fee?
Full market analysis, vehicle sourcing, expert negotiation, trade-in valuation and leverage, deal structure optimization, and final contract review. No percentages, no hidden costs, no dealer commissions. One flat fee covers the entire acquisition.
How long does the acquisition process typically take?
Timeline depends on market availability and your specific vehicle requirements. Once we source options, negotiation and closing usually move quickly. We keep you updated at every step so you know exactly where your deal stands.
Do you work with dealers or represent them?
No. We represent you exclusively as a buyer-side specialist. We don't sell vehicles, work for dealerships, or receive third-party compensation. Your interests are our only priority.
Can you help with trade-in valuation?
Yes. We analyze your current vehicle's market value and use that leverage to improve your overall deal. Trade-in strategy is built into our negotiation—we ensure you get fair value and optimal deal structure.
What makes Private Automotive Acquisition different?
28 years of buyer-side specialist experience. We control the entire process without dealership influence. Flat-fee transparency, strategic negotiation, and full deal oversight ensure you get the best terms—not the dealer.

Frank negotiated $3,000 off the asking price and restructured the deal so I saved another $1,200 on fees and taxes. I had complete control the entire time.
