Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how Deal Drvn works.
Why should I hire a car buying advocate?
An advocate levels the playing field. Dealerships negotiate cars every day, while most people do it once every few years. We protect you from high-pressure sales tactics, uncover hidden fees, and leverage our industry expertise to negotiate the lowest possible price. Ultimately, we save you time, money, and a significant amount of stress.
How does your flat-fee pricing work?
We charge a transparent flat fee based on the service tier you choose. There are no hidden costs, no percentages of savings, and no surprises. You pay us to represent your interests solely.
Do you only work with local dealerships?
No, we search nationwide to find the exact vehicle you want at the best possible price. We handle all the logistics, including out-of-state shipping if necessary.
Can I still trade in my current vehicle?
Absolutely. We'll evaluate your trade-in and negotiate its value separately from the new car purchase to ensure you get top dollar, rather than letting the dealer mix the numbers.
How long does the process usually take?
It depends on the specific vehicle you're looking for and market availability. Typically, once we have your parameters, we can secure a deal within 3-7 days. However, we never rush a bad deal just to close.
What if I already have a deal from a dealership?
Our Free Deal Check is perfect for this. We'll review your buyer's order, identify any hidden fees or unnecessary add-ons, and tell you if it's a good deal or if you should keep negotiating — at no cost to you.
Do I have to go to the dealership?
With our full car buying & negotiation service, you never have to step foot in a dealership unless you want to. We can arrange for the paperwork and the vehicle to be delivered directly to your home or office.
