Private car buying for physicians. Nationwide since 2001.

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

Send me the car you want, the car you're in now, and when you need it. I tell you where that car sits in today's market before you're attached to a payment, then I find it, negotiate it, and deliver it to your door.

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.

  • The market read first. Where that car sits this month, over sticker or under, before you're attached to a payment.
  • The exact build, found anywhere in the country or ordered from the factory.
  • Every conversation with the dealership, the trade, the financing, and the paperwork, handled by me. You never sit in the finance office.
  • The car in your driveway or at your office, one signature, and your Saturday back.
  • Any fee named before I start. If I wouldn't put my name on the deal, we stop and you owe nothing.
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. Transport from the dealership to your door is its own number. You have it in writing before you commit, and it doesn't change.

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.

“I've worked through John on five consecutive auto leases since 2009. He makes the process very easy and saves me considerable time and hassle. I never have to set foot on a car lot or negotiate with dealership salesmen. Highly recommend, especially for busy physicians whose valuable time is better spent on other things.”

“Since getting our first Escape for my daughter in 2008, John is the most responsive salesman I have ever dealt with. He does the legwork, gets the deals. I'll be using him for a BMW-electric in the next year or two. That'll be my 7th car through him.”

“After multiple failed attempts to find a new Escalade with the little time I had after hours, I came across John's LinkedIn and reached out. The process was seamless, stress-free, and for the first time in my car-buying life, pleasant. My Escalade was delivered to my driveway with white-glove service, within two weeks.”

Why I do this

I started on the dealer's side of the desk.

I spent the first part of my career inside dealerships. I know how a car gets priced, what the finance office is paid to add, and why a salesperson will keep you in a chair on a Saturday until you sign just to get out of there.

Then I watched that same playbook run on physicians. So I switched sides.

Over 2,000 transactions later, most of what I do is repeat work. Some clients are on their seventh car with me. Several of them are further down this page, by name.

You text me the car you want. I find it, negotiate it, and have it delivered to your home or your office. That gives a typical client six to ten hours back, and the whole Saturday.

The texts come to my cell. I answer them myself, evenings included.

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. Then I tell you where that car sits in today's market, over sticker or under, before anyone's attached to a payment. 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.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, on new and used. I'm not a lender. On a new car the loan comes through the selling dealership's lenders, the same manufacturer and bank programs you'd be offered walking in. On a used car, or a dealership outside my network, the paperwork and the financing run through a partner dealership that works with several banks and credit unions, and they take your trade too. Either way I arrange the financing and I review all the paperwork, and you never sit across from a finance manager. One secure application from your phone. If you'd rather use your own bank or credit union, that works as well. Tell me up front.
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 all day, across every brand, and the dealerships know it. You'd be negotiating against people who do it all day. I'm one of them, on your side. The other half of the job is the number itself. Before I start, I tell you where that car sits in today's market, because it isn't always under sticker, and a lease payment hasn't been one percent of sticker in years. You get that read first, so by the time I bring you a number you already know what a good one looks like. 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. Tesla, Rivian and Lucid sell new cars direct at one set price, so a new one goes through the brand and there's nothing for me to negotiate. A used one I can handle, and I'll take one in on trade. If what you want is new and direct, 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?
Finding the car usually takes a day or two. Transport is the long pole, and it depends on where the car is and how far it has to travel. Figure about a week, sometimes more. Rare specs and factory orders take longer. Transport goes from the dealership to your home or your office, and it's billed separately, a number you have before you commit. Before the car moves you know who will contact you and exactly what the driver is owed, in writing. When it arrives you sign one set of papers and take the keys. Your temp tag comes with the car. Plates and title follow from the selling dealership a few weeks later, and I chase them so you don't have to.

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.
