Concierge car buying

We buy the car. You drive it.

Most people buy a car a handful of times in their life. The person across the desk does it every day. Concierge puts someone who does it every day on your side: finding the right car, checking it is real, and negotiating the full out-the-door price in writing.

  • No showroom visits until the deal is agreed
  • Every number in writing before you commit
  • You approve each step and can stop at any time

Asking about

2024 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury

$30,467 · Herb Chambers Auto Group

We use what you send only to reply to this request. We do not sell or share it. See our privacy notes.

How it works

  1. 01

    You describe the car

    Model, must-haves, deal-breakers, budget, timing. Ten minutes by form or a short call.

  2. 02

    We search wider than you can

    The open index is the starting point. We also work the phones for cars that are in transit, unlisted, or a dealer trade away.

  3. 03

    We verify, then negotiate

    We confirm the car exists and matches its listing, then get competing out-the-door quotes in writing and push on price, fees, and add-ons.

  4. 04

    You approve, sign, and drive

    You see every number before you commit. We review the paperwork against the agreed deal and arrange pickup or delivery.

What we handle

  • Finding itThe exact trim, color, and options, including cars that are not advertised yet.
  • Verifying itThat the car exists, is available, and matches its listing; history and recall checks on used cars.
  • Pricing itCompeting written out-the-door quotes, checked against live market prices.
  • The fine printFees, add-ons, rate markups, and a line-by-line review of the paperwork before you sign.
  • Your trade-inShopped separately, so its value is not used to blur the price of the new car.

Questions

What does it cost?

You get our fee in writing before we start any work, and asking costs nothing. The fee is paid by you, so our incentive is your deal, not the dealer's.

Are you a dealership?

No. The Motor Standard does not own or sell vehicles. You buy directly from the dealer, on the dealer's paperwork, with us on your side of the table.

Where is the service available?

Rules for buying services differ by state. Tell us where you live and we will tell you plainly whether we can help there yet.

Can I use my own financing or trade-in?

Yes. Bring a pre-approval if you have one and we will see whether the dealer can beat it. We also shop your trade-in separately so it is not buried in the deal.

What if I just want to do it myself?

Then do. Everything we know is in the guides, and the price data is free. Concierge exists for people who would rather spend the time on something else.
