Already have a dealership offer?

Not sure if you're getting a good car deal?
Have Dealer Defense review it before you sign.

For $99, Dealer Defense will independently review your written new-car deal from the buyer's side of the table. I'll examine the vehicle price, discounts, incentives, dealership fees, add-ons, trade structure and financing so you know what looks competitive—and what deserves another look.

Professional car deal review

What I'll review in your dealership offer

A monthly payment alone doesn't tell you whether a car deal is good. I'll look at the structure behind the payment and evaluate the major numbers that determine what you're actually paying.

Vehicle selling price & discounts
I'll review the negotiated price and determine how it compares with the vehicle's MSRP and available market information.
Rebates & incentives
I'll review the incentives included in the deal and help identify whether the offer appears to be using available manufacturer programs appropriately.
Dealer fees & add-ons
I'll look for documentation fees, protection products, accessories and other charges that can quietly increase the cost of the transaction.
Trade-in structure
If your deal includes a trade, I'll review how the trade allowance fits into the overall transaction.
Financing structure
I'll review the financing terms provided with the deal so you can better understand the rate, term and payment structure.
Negotiation feedback
You'll receive a straightforward assessment of whether the deal looks competitive, where additional negotiation may make sense, and what I would pay attention to before signing.

I'll help you understand them.
Why get a second opinion?

A low monthly payment doesn't always mean a good car deal.

Vehicle transactions can include discounts, rebates, trade value, financing terms, dealer fees, accessories and optional products. Looking only at the monthly payment can make it difficult to see how those pieces affect the real cost of the deal.

Dealer Defense looks at the transaction from the buyer's side—not the dealership's.

The goal isn't to promise that every dealer has thousands of dollars left to give up. The goal is to help you understand the transaction, recognize unnecessary costs and make a more informed decision before committing to the purchase.
