Clients Who Control Their Deals
Real buyers who secured better terms, eliminated dealer pressure, and closed with full confidence in their acquisition.
Frank handled everything from sourcing to final negotiation. I got the vehicle I wanted at a price I controlled, not what the dealer dictated.
Michael Torres
Business Owner
The deal structure optimization saved me thousands. Frank controlled the fees, the taxes, everything. No hidden surprises at signing.
Jennifer Walsh
Executive
I didn't have to spend weeks negotiating or worrying about getting a fair price. Frank managed the entire process. I just reviewed and signed.
David Kim
Entrepreneur
The trade-in valuation Frank secured was significantly higher than dealer offers. That leverage made a real difference in my final cost.
Sarah Bennett
Professional
Frank's assistance in purchasing our 2025 Kia Telluride was an experience I will always and forever seek to replicate. Never having to speak with a salesman, never having to negotiate, only traveling to the dealership to do the test drive and, subsequently, pick up the vehicle is about as clean as it gets. Frank handled everything remotely, I signed the papers from my kitchen through a virtual notary, and we wound up saving gobs of money. His knowledge of the auto industry as demonstrated by his decades working within it was apparent throughout and gave both me and my wife peace of mind. The transparency and information be brought to us about what to expect, pricing guidelines, and dealer tactics were paramount in providing that confidence. His knowledge is superior and his responsive communication set the standard, which will admittedly be impossible to beat. I recommend Frank to anyone and everyone who will ever buy a vehicle from a dealership.

Common questions about vehicle acquisition
Get clarity on our process, pricing, and what to expect from start to finish.
What exactly does Private Automotive Acquisition do?
We represent you exclusively as a buyer-side specialist. We handle everything from sourcing the right vehicle to negotiating price, managing trade-in value, structuring the deal for maximum savings, financing optimization, reviewing your final contract, and delivery. You stay in control; we do the legwork. Concierge service.
How is this different from buying through a dealership?
Dealerships profit from markups and financing. We work only for you with no third-party compensation. We negotiate on your behalf, not theirs. Our goal is to secure the best terms and price, then walk away. You maintain complete control of every decision.
What's included in the $799 flat fee?
Full market analysis, personal needs assessment, vehicle sourcing and evaluation, price negotiation, trade-in valuation strategy, deal structure optimization for price, fees, financing, taxes, and final contract review before you sign. One price covers everything from first contact to signed paperwork.
How long does the acquisition process take?
Timeline depends on vehicle availability and your specific needs. Once you define your target vehicle and budget, we begin sourcing and analysis immediately. Most acquisitions complete within just a few days to a week, though this varies based on market conditions and your approval pace, plus the type of vehicle.
Do you handle trade-ins, or just new purchases?
We handle both. If you're trading in a current vehicle, we assess its market value separately independently and use that leverage in our negotiation strategy. This ensures you get fair market value and don't leave money on the table.
Can you help if I already have a specific vehicle in mind?
Absolutely. Whether you've found a specific vehicle or need help identifying options, we step in to verify condition, negotiate price, structure the deal, and protect your interests. We handle the entire transaction from that point forward.
