Private car buying for physicians. Nationwide.

Text me the car you want. I handle the dealership.

I find the exact car anywhere in the country, negotiate it without you in the room, read every line of the paperwork, and deliver it to your home or office. On most new cars you pay me nothing. Otherwise it's a flat $1,500, named before you commit.

Why I do this

Twenty five years inside. Now on your side.

I spent the first part of my career in the car business. I know how dealerships price a car, how the finance office works, and how long a salesperson will keep you in a waiting room on a Saturday. I know it because I used to work in it.

Then I watched too many physicians, people who had been on their feet since six, lose an evening to someone whose job is to outlast them. That's not a fair fight. So I put myself on the other side of it.

When you work with me, you're not shopping against the dealer. I am. You tell me what you want. I bring it to you.

What you get

What one text gets you.

A few texts to start, a few decisions along the way, one signature at delivery. Everything in between is mine. On your own the same car costs you a weekend.

The exact car

The build you want, not whatever is on the nearest lot. If it's on a lot anywhere in the country, I find it. If it isn't, I order it from the factory. In your driveway in one to two days when it's in stock.

Negotiated without you

You never talk to a salesperson or the finance office. I handle every conversation and every counter. I know the rooms. You don't sit in any of them.

Your trade-in, same deal

I get your trade a real number and fold it into the same transaction, so the paperwork happens once.

The paperwork, read line by line

I read every line of the contract before you sign. Anything you didn't ask for comes off.

Lease, finance, or cash

Structured around how you're paid and how often you like to change cars. I'll tell you which fits and which doesn't.

Delivered to you

Your home or your office. Enclosed transport when the car calls for it. You sign once and take the keys.

What it costs
$0
Most new cars in my dealer network. The dealership pays me. Your price is the price I negotiated, and it doesn't move because of me.
$1,500
Flat, for a used car or a dealership outside my network. Due when the car is in your driveway, not before.

A hard to find car with a waiting list may carry a fee too. In every case you hear the exact number before you commit to anything, and it doesn't change unless you agree to it.

How you know I'm on your side

No dealer is my client.

My next deal comes from a physician telling a colleague this one was handled right. I protect that more than any single transaction.

So the fee is named before you commit. If the deal isn't one I'd put my name on, I tell you, we stop, and you owe nothing.

Physician reviews

Real physicians. Real names. Most of them came back.

Recommendations from my physician clients, each one on LinkedIn under their own name. Several are on their fifth, seventh, or twelfth car with me.

For my clients

The first car is the hard one. The next one is two texts.

If you've bought through me before, text me the next one the same way. I already know how you like to buy. Your spouse's car, your kid's first car, a car for a partner at your practice. Same number, same process.

Sending a colleague? Have them mention your name when they text. I'll treat it like your deal. Most of the physicians I work with came from another physician, and I'm grateful for every one of them.

Not the physician? If you're the spouse or the office manager doing the legwork, the same text works.

After delivery you'll hear from me about once a year. That's it.

Common questions

Questions physicians ask before reaching out.

What happens after I text?

You text me the car you want, or the decision you're stuck on. We trade two or three messages so I understand exactly what you need. I name any fee before anything starts, then I go to work. If you're months out, that's fine. Tell me your timeline and I'll work to it. And if the deal isn't one I'd put my name on, I'll tell you and we part ways.

What does it cost?

On most new cars in my dealer network, nothing. The dealership pays me, and the price you pay is the price I negotiated. A flat $1,500 applies to a used car or a dealership outside my network, due when the car is in your driveway. A hard to find car with a waiting list, the kind that sells at full sticker, can carry a fee even when it's new. In every case you have the exact number before you commit to anything.

I already started with a dealership. Is it too late?

No. Text me before you sign anything. I'll tell you whether to finish there or let me take it from here.

Why would you get a better deal than I would?

I do this every week, across every brand, and dealerships know it. You'd be negotiating against people who do it all day. I'm one of them, on your side. Plus you get back six to ten hours.

What if I don't know exactly what I want yet?

Also fine. Tell me what you drive today, what you want next, and a ballpark budget. Most physicians figure it out in two or three texts. We narrow it down together.

Can you order a car from the factory?

Yes. If the build you want isn't sitting on a lot anywhere, I order it. Factory builds take longer, usually a few months depending on the brand, and I tell you the real lead time before you order. Your part is the same. You sign at delivery.

Are there brands you don't handle?

I work through the dealer network, which covers almost every brand sold in the U.S. A few manufacturers sell direct and skip dealers entirely (Tesla, Rivian, some Polestar models), so they aren't a fit. If that's what you want, I'll say so at the start.

What about leasing?

Leasing, financing, cash. I handle all three. Depending on how you're paid and how often you like to change cars, leasing can make sense. I'll tell you when it does and when it doesn't.

What if I'm trading in a car?

Send me the year, the miles, and the condition. I work the trade value alongside the purchase and both close in the same transaction, so the paperwork happens once.

How does delivery work, and how long does it take?

Transport goes from the dealership to wherever you want it, your home or your office. You pick the time. When it arrives you sign one set of papers and take the keys. Transport is billed separately, and you have that number before you commit. One to two days when the car is in stock, longer for factory orders or rare specs. You get the real timeline before I start.

Anything I didn't answer, ask me directly.

The next car is one text.

Tell me the car, or ask me to help you decide. Buying this month or a year out, the first text is the same. The best deals I've done started months early, so text me when you start thinking, not when you need it. Any fee is named before we begin.

or leave your number

I'll text you myself, usually the same day. No spam, no sales pressure, no list.
