Buyer Profile
A Very Easy Customer
Excellent Credit
Buyer expects to qualify for top-tier manufacturer financing where applicable.
Flexible Financing
Dealer/manufacturer financing is welcome when competitive. Buyer is also capable of arranging outside financing.
No Trade Required
No trade-in is required. Buyer may have a vehicle available for appraisal, but the transaction does not depend upon it.
Translation: This should be an extremely straightforward car deal.
Pricing Philosophy
Let's Keep This Simple.
We're negotiating the selling price of the vehicle, not a monthly payment.
Please provide your most competitive vehicle selling price before applicable manufacturer incentives.
Manufacturer rebates and incentives should be shown separately.
Lowest monthly payment is not the objective. Best overall transaction is.
Financing Does Not Determine Dealer Selection
The buyer is open to manufacturer financing when competitive and expects to qualify for top-tier credit programs. However, dealer proposals should be based on the vehicle transaction itself, not a targeted monthly payment.
Please do not structure proposals around a desired monthly payment.

Evaluation Criteria
What Makes a Winning Proposal?
Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Every line of the transaction shown clearly: selling price, incentives, fees, taxes and any accessories.
Minimal Dealer Add-ons
Proposals without mandatory add-on packages evaluate significantly better than those with them.
Vehicle Actually Available
In stock, in transit with a firm date, or allocable — stated honestly in the proposal.
Efficient, Electronic Process
Paperwork prepared in advance and a clean handoff. Convenience carries real weight.
The winning dealership does not necessarily need to be the absolute lowest price. A clean, transparent and convenient transaction has value.
Proposal Intake
Submit Your Offer
Proposal Integrity
Please submit pricing that your dealership is prepared to honor for the identified vehicle, subject only to normal credit approval, vehicle availability and applicable manufacturer program requirements.
If a submitted proposal changes materially after selection, the buyer may proceed with another dealership.
