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 tax efficiency, and reviewing your final contract. You stay in control; we do the legwork.
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 $750 flat fee?
Full market analysis, vehicle sourcing and evaluation, price negotiation, trade-in valuation strategy, deal structure optimization for price, fees, and 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 a few days to 1-2 weeks, though this varies based on market conditions and your approval pace.
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 independently and use that leverage in our negotiation strategy. This ensures you get fair credit 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.
