  States with the Most Vehicle Fraud and Scams

  Researchers used data from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to discover what states had issues with car-related scams and fraud.

  Calculating the total number of cases from the percentages given, our researchers then divided the resulting numbers by the number of residents from the Census Bureau to find the rate per one million residents. Many cases of auto-related fraud involve dishonest business practices scamming customers.

• You can see the final results in the graphic below.

• The 10 top states for auto-related fraud average 315 cases per one million residents

So what are auto-related cases? While not always hard fraud, many auto-related complaints are about soft fraud cases, such as scams and dishonest business practices.

The FTC defines auto-related cases in its data study as the following:

“Misleading or deceptive claims regarding auto prices, financing, leasing or warranties; repair/maintenance issues with newly purchased used or new cars, including dissatisfaction with service provided by auto mechanics; price fixing and price gouging concerns against gas stations and oil companies; etc.”

• Many of the things on this list count as deliberate scams, which means these complaints could be filed for unfair and deceptive business acts and practices. While there are laws protecting consumers, consumers aren't always aware they are being scammed.

• That's why after we go more in-depth into the states with the most auto-related fraud, we are going to go over common scams and what you can do to protect yourself when buying or repairing a car.

• #10 – Virginia

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 2,376

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 278.4

  Number 10 on our list is Virginia, with a total of 278 auto-related cases per one million residents. Auto-related fraud and scam cases make up 3% of total fraud cases in Virginia.

  Since the majority of fraud cases are identity theft or imposter scams in each state, 3% is a significant percentage of auto-related cases for a state.

  #9 – New Hampshire

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 404

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 297.1

  New Hampshire has a total of 297 auto-related cases per one million residents, placing it as 9th on our ranking of the worst states for car fraud. While there were only 404 auto-related cases, they made up 4% of total fraud cases in New Hampshire.

  #8 – Georgia

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 3,221

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 303.4

  The state of Georgia had over 3,200 auto-related cases, making up 3% of total fraud cases in the state. With so many drivers being scammed, it's no surprise that there is a total of 303 auto-related fraud cases for every one million Georgia residents.

  Even if Georgia didn't have a high scam rate, it's still important to have the best car insurance to cover any pricy auto shop charges.

  #7 – Ohio

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 3,554

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 304.0

  Ohio has a total of 304 auto-related cases per one million Ohio residents, which places it as No. 7 in America. With 3,554 cases making up 4% of fraud cases, Ohio residents need to be careful when buying cars and visiting auto shops.

  #6 – Maryland

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 1,893

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 313.1

  Maryland has 313 auto-related cases per one million Maryland residents. This number placed the state rank as 6th in America for auto-related fraud and scams.

  To protect yourself from high auto repair bills, make sure you have good Maryland car insurance coverage and vet auto repair shops before bringing your car in.

  #5 – Missouri

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 1,940

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 316.1

  Missouri ranks 5th in America for auto-related scam cases. With almost two thousand auto fraud cases in a year, Missouri had a total of 316 auto-related cases per one million residents.

  This is a high rate of auto-fraud cases, so drivers in Missouri should make sure to familiarize themselves with warranties and leases at dealerships before signing.

  #4 – Connecticut

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 1,137

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 318.9

  Connecticut drivers should make sure they are reading the fine print or leases and auto-shop bills, as there is a total of 319 auto-related cases per one million Connecticut residents. With over a thousand reports of possible auto-related fraud, Connecticut ranks as No. 4 on our list.

  #3 – Florida

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 7,238

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 337.0

  Florida drivers have more to watch out for than just alligators crossing the road. Drivers need to be aware of scams that might happen at their local dealerships or auto repair shops.

  With over seven thousand auto-related cases in just one year, there are plenty of scam artists waiting to take advantage of Florida drivers. Per just one million Florida residents, there are 337 auto-related cases of fraud.

  #2 – Delaware

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 329

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 337.9

  Delaware comes in at 2nd with an average of 338 auto-related fraud cases per one million residents. Because Delaware is such a tiny state, these many auto-related cases mean that residents should take the time to background check dealerships.

  Hopefully, most of these complaints are related to just a few auto shops and dealerships, not the majority in Delaware.

  #1 – Nevada

  • Annual Auto Fraud Cases: 1,066

  • Auto Fraud Cases Per 1M Residents: 346.1

  The state of Nevada ranks as No. 1 on our list of the worst states for vehicle-related fraud. With almost 350 cases of auto-related fraud per one million Nevada residents, Nevada has quite a few scammers.

  Nevada drivers should keep this in mind when leasing new cars or getting car repairs. Check reviews and recommendations before visiting a dealership or auto repair shop, and always read what you are signing.

  Beware! Auto Fraud and Scams Across America

  Auto fraud and scams happen all across America, not just in the 10 worst states for auto fraud. In 2020, there was an estimated 2,670,873 auto cases related to fraud and scams in America.

  How are drivers scammed out of their hard-earned money? Take a look at the graphic below to see the most common types of scams that drivers fall victim to every year.

The two most likely ways that drivers get scammed are through auto repair shops or car dealerships. Unless you are a savvy mechanic or lease expert, it is easy for scammers to slip in confusing technology to add on fraudulent charges.

• For example, most car manufacturers do the vehicle prep work of preparing a car for sale, such as performing road tests, vacuuming and washing the car, and removing protective plastic. The cost of the service is usually included in the price of the car, but some dishonest dealerships will charge for this service as if they did it themselves.

• While this isn't illegal, it's not a great sign that a dealership is charging a customer twice for a service. Unless you can be sure that a dealership did the prep work themselves, you might want to consider buying a car elsewhere if you see this charge tacked onto your bill.

• The best way to avoid being scammed is to do your research beforehand. Read reviews and ratings to see what other customers think about a company's service and prices, or check Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings if available.

• If an auto shop or dealership has any history of hiking up prices or fraudulent dealings, doing a bit of research beforehand will usually reveal this. It's also prudent to familiarize yourself with the financial aspects, such as fair interest rates and terminology.

  Avoiding Fraud at Car Dealers!

• To help you feel confident when shopping for a new car here are some tips from an automotive expert and founder of Car Leasing Concierge and My Best Car Price Paul Maloney.

“When the car salesperson introduces you to the finance/business manager to do the paperwork, they’re introducing you to the money-extracting machine of the car dealerships and this person is not just going to tally up everything and send you on your merry way in a hurry!

• Get comfortable, because this person is going to try and sell you everything from the Brooklyn Bridge to warranties that cover absolutely nothing along with the window etching, pinstriping, rust-proofing, paint sealant, etc., that will only end up siphoning all the money out of your wallet.

• This is where the most money is made on just about every deal. Don't be pressured into something you’re not certain you will need. Before you know it, your car payment can quickly turn into a mortgage payment.

• These finance people all work on commission and to make their quota they must sell on average $900 to $1,200 in accessories, as well as bump up your interest rate to total somewhere around $3,000 in extra profit. So guess why it takes so long to sign everything. They must go through their mandatory pitch.

• They will try to make it sound like if you don’t take these coverages, you may be at risk of forking out thousands of dollars if something goes wrong.

• Another way they try to convince you is to tell you, ‘You don’t have to pay for it all upfront. You can conveniently put it in your monthly payment to spread out the cost for only a few dollars more.’

• This is when they jack up the cost without you knowing, in some cases making you pay almost double! Save yourself some time and money. If you really want these extras, you can easily buy them on the outside for a fraction of the cost.

• Price is always key to buying a car, but if you don't have to know how to go about it the right way it's very easy for car dealers to steer you in the wrong direction.

• Buyers should use tools that help them uncover the TIP or True Invoice Price, rates, and hidden incentives dealers try not to disclose. These amounts can save buyers hundreds to thousands of dollars below the actual invoice price.

• Here are some fake fees that often get added unnecessarily to car transactions:

• Documentation fees $100 to $800+

• Processing fees $200 to $700+

• Delivery fees $300 to $1,000+

• Destination fees $500 to $1,300+

In addition, high-interest rates can also be a scam, forcing you to pay more for your car than it is worth.”

Frequently Asked Questions: Car Theft, Purchases, and Repairs

When it comes to car fraud and scams, a lot of people have questions about stolen vehicles. After all, a customer may unwittingly buy a stolen car or a car with stolen parts. Read on to see what the most common questions are about car fraud and stolen vehicles.

#1 – What state has the most stolen vehicles?

California. As one of the largest states in America, it makes sense that California has the most stolen vehicles. With so many drivers in California, there are plenty of cars for thieves to snatch.

#2 – What city in the US has the highest rate of car theft?

What city has the most carjackings? In our study of the 10 most stolen cars in America, we found that the metropolitan area with the highest rate of car theft was Albuquerque, New Mexico.

#3 – How many days do you have to cancel a car purchase?

You should always check the contract you sign, as it will state how many days you have to return the vehicle if there's a major issue (usually 2-3). You may have to pay extra to add this return period to your contract.

Asking about the car's return policy is vital, as a car starts losing value the instant you drive it off the lot. If you miss the return window, the car will be worth less than what you bought it for.

#4 – Why do car dealers rip you off?

Car dealers try to rip customers off to earn more in profits. They may try to pressure you into buying unnecessary services or signing up for a high interest rate. It's important to remember there are plenty of cars and plenty of dealerships that have better prices.

If you feel pressured, walk away, especially if you live in one of the most scammed states in America.

#5 – Can you sue an auto repair shop?

You can sue an auto repair shop if the work they did was defective and caused injury to you or other people. It is best to talk to a lawyer to see if you have a case before embroiling yourself in suing an auto repair shop.

Methodology: Finding the Worst States for Vehicle Fraud

To find the states with the most vehicle-related fraud, our team of researchers looked at 2020 FTC data released in 2021.

Since the FTC only listed percentages, not the exact number of auto-related fraud cases by state, our team calculated the number from the listed percentage and the total number of fraud cases for each state. This allowed us to get an accurate number of auto-fraud cases for each state rather than using percentages.

Because larger states with more residents will naturally consistently rank first as the worst states for auto fraud, our team pulled resident data from the United States Census Bureau to calculate the rate of auto-related cases per one million residents. This allowed for a more accurate depiction of which states have the highest rate of auto-related scams.

Regardless of where you live, it's essential to keep an eye out for suspiciously high pricing and shady contracts. If something seems off to you, don't use the shop or buy the car. It's better to have to spend some more time shopping around than being scammed out of your hard-earned money.

All New 2019 RANGE ROVER P400E Plug-In Hybrid

View fullsize

Although Land Rover’s flagship Range Rover and rakish Range Rover Sport have been given a mild yet thoughtfully executed makeover for the 2018 model year, the big news is under the skin. For the 2019 model year, both will be available with Land Rover’s first plug-in hybrid powertrain, and our first drive of the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover P400e suggests it’s worth the wait.

The 2018 Range Rover and 2018 Range Rover Sport get exterior upgrades that include new headlights, grilles, and front bumpers. Both have new seats inside, and both get a version of the high-tech dual-screen center stack that made its debut in the Range Rover Velar.

The first thing you notice about the new Range Rover plug-in hybrid is … nothing at all. There’s no additional flap in the bodywork for a charge port and not a single hybrid badge anywhere on the car. The charge port is hidden behind a cleverly disguised flap on the left-hand side of the grille. A tiny “P400e” badge under the HSE model designation is the only visible clue to the first hybrid powertrain in Land Rover’s 70-year history.

View fullsize

Land Rover’s PHEV powertrain is composed of a 296-hp version of JLR’s 2.0-liter turbo-four gas engine and a 114-hp  electric motor fed by a 13.1-kW-hr lithium-ion battery mounted under the rear loadspace floor. Total system output is 398 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque. Land Rover claims a pure electric range of up to 31 miles, along with a 0–60-mph time of 6.3 seconds. And because the electric motor is mounted within the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, the pure electric drive is even available for low-range off-roading.

The Range Rover P400e has a 7-kW onboard charger that, when connected via the standard 10-amp home charging cable, will fully recharge the battery in 7.5 hours, according to Land Rover. An optional 32-amp wall box and multifunction cable, available from Land Rover dealers, will reduce charge time to just under three hours. Illuminated strips either side of the charge port allow a quick visual check of the battery’s charge status, but owners can also monitor remotely it via an app on their phones.

View fullsize

Drivers can leave the hybrid powertrain to shuffle between electric and internal combustion power to meet load demands, or they can actively manage the battery’s state of charge. When a destination is entered into the nav system, the P400e’s electronic neural network factors in traffic conditions, the gradient of the route, and whether it’s operating in a rural or urban environment to deliver the most efficient combination of power modes. Alternatively, selecting Save mode via the central touchscreen ensures the battery will always have enough charge to allow the P400e to operate in pure EV mode for a specific segment of their journey.

Sounds good in theory, but how does it work in practice? Surprisingly well, as it happens.

The PHEV powertrain is well suited to the relaxed demeanor of Range Rover. In pure EV mode—which it will maintain up to 85 mph—it delivers almost Rolls-Royce levels of waftability around town. In hybrid mode, you can hear the engine fire up if you listen for it, but in reality, the transitions between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine are impressively smooth and seamless. The e-motor’s instant-on torque—203 lb-ft at zero rpm—effortlessly gets the 5,448-pound Range Rover off the line and adroitly shoulders the load to help out the engine once the big SUV is underway.

View fullsize

The PHEV powertrain is the best application yet of JLR’s gas turbo-four, an engine not especially noted for smoothness and silence in other Jaguar and Land Rover models. If they’re really concentrating, occupants might detect a little vibration when the engine fires up, and full throttle will deliver a distant, muted growl. But most would be hard-pressed to tell you what sort of engine is actually under the hood. What’s more, when left to its own devices, the little four-banger punches above its weight, coping surprisingly well with the Range Rover’s mass.

Although it’s a hybrid, it still has a Sport mode, which engages the electric motor all the time to help deliver maximum performance and allows full manual control of the eight-speed automatic via paddles mounted on the steering wheel. No matter which way you drive it, however, the P400e feels quicker, more responsive, and more refined on the road than the V-6-powered gas or diesel Range Rovers.

View fullsize

Off-road, the EV mode, selected via a button on the center console, works brilliantly, especially in low range. Land Rover has recalibrated its acclaimed Terrain Response system to work with the electric motor, and that instant torque means you can be extremely precise with the throttle, carefully tip-toeing the big Rangie over major obstacles.

Even a klutz can take this hybrid luxury limo places few other SUVs dare go. The air suspension can be jacked up a maximum of 3.0 inches, it’ll safely wade through 35.4 inches of water like every other Range Rover, and with JLR’s Low Traction Launch software now on board, it will effortlessly pull away from a standstill on slippery surfaces such as wet grass, loose gravel, and snow.

View fullsize

In Europe the PHEV powertrain is available across the Range Rover lineup, including long-wheelbase models. For U.S. buyers, however, it comes only in the standard-wheelbase Range Rover and in HSE trim. (A PHEV version of the Range Rover Sport HSE will also available in the U.S. in 2019.) Pricing is competitive: At $96,145, the P400e is an attractive alternative to the regular six-cylinder $95,045 HSE or the $97,045 HSE diesel models. Overall drivability is better, particularly in terms of a perceived luxury feel, with the added benefits of decent fuel economy and smooth, silent, zero-emissions motoring in city centers.

View fullsize

On top of all that, you get a bunch of worthwhile upgrades that come with the Range Rover’s 2018 model year refresh, from the subtle exterior tweaks to an interior that looks noticeably more upscale and lavishly equipped. Luxury SUVs might be everywhere these days, but the supremely elegant and capable Range Rover remains the segment benchmark.

2017's Hottest Car Buying Trend!

View fullsize

 2017's Hottest Car Buying Trend has a step-by-step, quick and easy process for new car buyers in the market to buy or lease any new Car, Truck, Van or SUV. This valuable buyers guide saves shoppers Time, Money and unnecessary Stress.

Why is buying a car like learning a foreign language?

• A national auto pollster recently surveyed 10,000 people in the U.S. about buying or leasing new cars, and the results show most consumers aren’t exactly fans of the standard car dealership experience. In fact, three-quarters said if given the opportunity, they would consider making their entire car-buying process online-- including financing, price negotiation, back office paperwork and home delivery.

View fullsize

Don't Worry, Drive Happy!

• For many, purchasing a car at a dealership is too much of a confusing high-pressure process. It’s easy to see how it’s preferable to haggle over prices and options and review the fine print at one’s leisure in front of a screen rather than surrounded by salespeople and their “let me talk to the manager” games.

• After all, a classic negotiation tactic is walking away from the deal on the table, and walking away from an online offer is as simple as ignoring an email.

• For another indication of the degree to which consumers don’t like the traditional car-buying experience, check out a recent survey conducted by another national auto ranking pollster.

• Of 4,002 consumers polled, only 17 said they like the current car buying process just as it is. The rest said they “want significant changes, particularly in the test drive, deal structuring, financing paperwork and service phases.” Many said they’d like to see the nitty-gritty of deals conducted online rather than in person.

Is your wallet getting taken for a test drive?

View fullsize

• For instance, consumers indicate that they would like to see a big change in the way they go about negotiating the deal structure. Of those who liked the idea of online deal building, over half, 65%, want the ability to start the negotiation on their own terms—preferably online—and 35% would like to remain anonymous until they lock in the deal structure.

View fullsize

• Nearly three-fourths of consumers, 72%, want to complete the credit application and financing paperwork online. The key factors driving this desire are to save time at the dealership (reported by 72% of those who favor online paperwork) and to have less pressure while filling out paperwork (reported by 71% of those who favor online paperwork).

• Let’s not forget that one of the supposed purposes of car dealerships is to provide a place for consumers to kick the tires, test-drive vehicles, and (hopefully) get good insights and advice from employees.

Nonetheless, there’s considerable pressure to change the often-maddening experience—to make it quicker, more transparent, less stressful, and less complicated—and become more open to online purchases.

Do car dealerships really have the best deals?

If you’ve ever dreaded going to the car dealership, you’re not alone. That’s why services exist that help people buy cars without ever setting foot on a lot.

View fullsize

Once you decide on a car model, car-buying services use certified representatives to do all the searching and haggling for you. Online car services enable you to buy from your living room couch.

People hire representation when they’re not an expert in that field … and car buying today is complex. You negotiate price, interest rates or lease rates, the bank fees, and once you get all that done, you’re not finished.

 A lot of people are just not prepared to effectively negotiate a car deal for themselves. If you want an expert’s help with finding, negotiating and purchasing a new or used car — or you want someone to do those things for you entirely — consider one of the following.

Car Concierges:

What they do:

Auto concierges learn about a shopper’s vehicle needs and preferences than do the legwork.This is where business owners and corporations go to buy or lease their vehicles, as it far supersedes anything a dealership will offer you. Lastly, Concierges will even have the car delivered to your home or office so you can sign the sales contract.

Car-buying concierge is a highly specialized service that only a few companies currently offer.

View fullsize

Payment:

Concierges typically charge a small upfront flat fee or sometimes a percentage of the amount they save you on the vehicle purchase. This fee depends on the car they’re tasked with finding, since they normally deal in mass volume. Either way, the price will nearly always be cheaper than going to a car dealership.

What to know:

• These professionals know what they’re doing, most are former automotive fleet directors or inventory managers that have the ability and leverage to bypass car dealerships completely.
• They have access to factory to dealer incentives, buy rates and dealer costs on extended warranty contracts etc, that’s normally not offered to the public

• Concierges can purchase your new car, so you never have to visit a dealership.

• No dealer fees or marked up rates.

• No waiting, same day delivery or within 24 hrs

• Transparent and professional service. No games.

Club car-buying programs:

What they do: Companies such as American Express, Costco, and AAA have their own auto-buying programs. Some credit unions, such as Navy Federal, also offer them.

Members input their ideal car model and features online, then the company’s representatives search for a match within their certified dealership network.

These approved dealerships offer low, prearranged pricing in exchange for the company’s referrals. Once your representative has found an option, he or she will arrange for you to visit the dealership.

You can take a test drive and sign a contract if you think it’s the right car for you.

Payment:

There might be a small fee for this service, but it’s often free with membership.

View fullsize

What to know:

• Your car-buying professional might not find the exact model or color you wanted in the dealership network. You’re more likely to find the car you prefer with these services if you’re looking for a widely available model.

• Many of these representatives can offer advice about which cars are best in class or suggest vehicles you might not have considered.

• You’ll still be offered an extended warranty and other additional products by the dealership.

• You still have to go to the car dealership to sign and there’s no guarantee you won’t be waiting. But at least the price of the car is locked in.

• Bottom line is they can’t get it cheaper than a car concierge that delivers to you

Car Brokers:

View fullsize

What they do:

• Brokers are often former car salespeople, well-versed in the tactics of dealerships. They can operate individually or as part of a large company with multiple agents.

• You can hire a broker to search car lots, haggle and buy your ideal car for the best price. You can even hire one to negotiate on your behalf for a car you’ve already found.

Payment:

• Some brokers charge a small fee or none at all, but they receive an undisclosed commission from the dealership.

• Buyers should be aware this raises the possibility that some brokers could be incentivized to settle for a higher price or only visit dealerships with which he or she has a good relationship like Truecar or Cars.com.

• Be careful, these companies get paid to sell your information to the car dealerships and are referred to in the industry as glorified car brokers.

What to know:

• Car Concierges provide the best overall choice if you don't like going to car dealers

• Car-buying services are a good service but still send you to the car dealership

• Find trusted car brokers through online review sites, such as Yelp, or recommendations from friends.

• Most brokers send you to the dealership to pick up your car or charge a fee to have it delivered.

Are they right for you?

• Visiting the dealership still has some advantages. It makes it easier to arrange test drives and compare models, and dealerships sometimes have the lowest interest rates for lease deals.

• We hear often from consumers who negotiated prices for hours with car salespeople. They wasted their time. The only leverage you have with car dealers is the possibility that you’ll walk out and buy from another dealer, or not buy anything at all.

View fullsize

• We hear from other consumers who used websites that promise to provide information to help them obtain the best price, or in some cases, a (supposedly) low price quote from a car dealer.

• Some of these websites mean well, they try to arm shoppers with price data they can use to negotiate better-than-average deals. But many just provide referrals to participating—really, paying—dealerships.

• Even when these sites seem to provide low prices, they often omit important details like hefty document fees, extra fees to locate specific cars, or costly mandatory options.

• Still, although they might have fees or membership dues, auto-buying programs can save car shoppers a lot of time, stress and potentially thousands of dollars.If you don’t have the time to search the market for the right car — or you simply don’t want to — it can be a relief to have an expert do the heavy lifting.

The bottom line:

"There aren’t too many things out there anymore that you can’t buy in an online way, and it’s really automotive that’s lagging pretty much every other industry out there until now."

• Car Leasing Concierge is changing the way people buy or lease a new car, in fact you don't even have to step foot inside a dealership. It’s a quick and easy process that many businesses and corporations use.

• What many people don't know is that the average car shopper can also use their services to buy or lease their own personal vehicles.  This allows them to bypass car dealerships entirely, saving them valuable time, money and unnecessary stress. 

• Created by former auto fleet directors who've managed some of the Tri-state's largest and most prestigious automotive dealerships for over 25 years, their Direct Fleet Network system has the ability and leverage to deal directly with the manufacturer.

• This allows them to offer you below dealer pricing on most makes and models normally inaccessible to the public. What that means is this is the cheapest way  you can possibly buy or lease a new car, truck or SUV-- regardless of where you got your price from.

• If you have a new vehicle in mind, they'll be be more than happy to check your deal for a better one. In most cases after a quick analysis is complete, clients end up saving hundreds to thousands of dollars more they weren't even aware of.

• It’s easy to see how it’s preferable to haggle over prices and options and review the fine print at one’s leisure in front of a screen rather than surrounded by salespeople and their “let me talk to the manager” games.

• After all, a classic negotiation tactic is walking away from the deal on the table, and walking away from an online offer is as simple as ignoring an email.

• For another indication of the degree to which consumers don’t like the traditional car-buying experience, check out a recent survey conducted by another national auto ranking pollster.

• Of 4,002 consumers polled, only 17 said they like the current car buying process just as it is. The rest said they “want significant changes, particularly in the test drive, deal structuring, financing paperwork and service phases.” Many said they’d like to see the nitty-gritty of deals conducted online rather than in person.

Is your wallet getting taken for a test drive?

• For instance, consumers indicate that they would like to see a big change in the way they go about negotiating the deal structure. Of those who liked the idea of online deal building, over half, 65%, want the ability to start the negotiation on their own terms—preferably online—and 35% would like to remain anonymous until they lock in the deal structure.

• Nearly three-fourths of consumers, 72%, want to complete the credit application and financing paperwork online. The key factors driving this desire are to save time at the dealership (reported by 72% of those who favor online paperwork) and to have less pressure while filling out paperwork (reported by 71% of those who favor online paperwork).

• Let’s not forget that one of the supposed purposes of car dealerships is to provide a place for consumers to kick the tires, test-drive vehicles, and (hopefully) get good insights and advice from employees.

Nonetheless, there’s considerable pressure to change the often-maddening experience—to make it quicker, more transparent, less stressful, and less complicated—and become more open to online purchases.

Do car dealerships really have the best deals?

If you’ve ever dreaded going to the car dealership, you’re not alone. That’s why services exist that help people buy cars without ever setting foot on a lot.

• Once you decide on a car model, car-buying services use certified representatives to do all the searching and haggling for you. And online car shops enable you to buy from your living room couch.

• People hire representation when they’re not an expert in that field … and car buying today is complex. You negotiate price, interest rates or lease rates, the bank fees, and once you get all that done, you’re not finished.

A lot of people are just not prepared to effectively negotiate a car deal for themselves. If you want an expert’s help with finding, negotiating and purchasing a new or used car — or you want someone to do those things for you entirely — consider the following.

Car Concierge:

What they do:

• Auto concierges learn about a shopper’s vehicle needs and preferences than do the legwork.

• This is where business owners and corporations go to buy or lease their vehicles, as it far supersedes anything a dealership will offer you.

• Lastly, Concierges will even have the car delivered to your home or office so you can sign the sales contract.

Car-buying concierge is a highly specialized service that only a few companies currently offer.

Payment:

Concierges typically charge a small upfront flat fee or sometimes a percentage of the amount they save you on the vehicle purchase. This fee depends on the car they’re tasked with finding, since they normally deal in mass volume. Either way, the price will nearly always be cheaper than going to a car dealership.

What to know:

• These professionals know what they’re doing, most are former automotive fleet directors or inventory managers that have the ability and leverage to bypass car dealerships completely.

• They have access to factory to dealer incentives, buy rates and dealer costs on extended warranty contracts etc, that’s normally not offered to the public

• Concierges can purchase your new car, so you never have to visit a dealership.

• No dealer fees or marked up rates.

• No waiting, same day delivery or within 24 hrs

• Transparent and professional service. No games.

Are they right for you?

• Visiting the dealership still has some advantages. It makes it easier to arrange test drives and compare models, and dealerships sometimes have the lowest interest rates for lease deals.

• We hear often from consumers who negotiated prices for hours with car salespeople. They wasted their time. The only leverage you have with car dealers is the possibility that you’ll walk out and buy from another dealer, or not buy anything at all.

• We hear from other consumers who used websites that promise to provide information to help them obtain the best price, or in some cases, a (supposedly) low price quote from a car dealer.

• Some of these websites mean well, they try to arm shoppers with price data they can use to negotiate better-than-average deals. But many just provide referrals to participating—really, paying—dealerships.

• Even when these sites seem to provide low prices, they often omit important details like hefty document fees, extra fees to locate specific cars, or costly mandatory options.

• Still, although they might have fees or membership dues, auto-buying programs can save car shoppers a lot of time, stress and potentially thousands of dollars.If you don’t have the time to search the market for the right car — or you simply don’t want to — it can be a relief to have an expert do the heavy lifting.

The bottom line:

"There aren’t too many things out there anymore that you can’t buy in an online way, and it’s really automotive that’s lagging pretty much every other industry out there until now."

• Car Leasing Concierge is changing the way people buy or lease a new car, in fact, you don't even have to step foot inside a dealership. It’s a quick and easy process that many businesses and corporations use.

• What many people don't know is that the average car shopper can also use their services to buy or lease their own personal vehicles.  This allows them to bypass car dealerships entirely, saving them valuable time, money and unnecessary stress.

• Created by former auto fleet directors who've managed some of the Tri-state's largest and most prestigious automotive dealerships for over 25 years, their Direct Fleet Network system has the ability and leverage to deal directly with the manufacturer.

• This allows them to offer you below dealer pricing on most makes and models normally inaccessible to the public. What that means is this is the cheapest way  you can possibly buy or lease a new car, truck or SUV-- regardless of where you got your price from.
