Our negotiation service
What does a car negotiator do?
A car negotiator gets you a better price on a car. You tell us the car you want.
We contact many dealers. They compete for your business.
We get their offers in writing. Then you pick one and buy it.
What is the difference between a car broker and a car negotiator?
A car broker buys the car for you. A broker may also handle pickup or delivery.
A car negotiator only does the negotiating. You still buy the car from the dealer and pick it up.
Price Driven is a car negotiation service. We do not buy cars for you.
What is the difference between a car negotiator and a car dealer?
A dealer sells cars and works for the dealership. A negotiator works for you. Our goal is a low price for you, not a high price for the dealer.
Do I have to go to the dealership?
Only to sign and pick up your car. We do the calls, emails and back and forth.
Who picks the car and the dealer?
You pick the make, model and trim. We find the dealers and get offers. You choose the offer you like.
How long does it take?
Most buyers get 1 to 3 offers in 2 to 5 business days. Rare or niche cars can take up to 2 weeks. We always work around your schedule.
Do you help with used cars?
No. Our services are for new cars only.
Can you help with a lease or financing?
Yes. We negotiate cash, lease and finance deals.
We cannot lower your interest rate. Your credit score and the lender set the rate.
Can you help with my trade-in?
Yes, with our Car Negotiation Service. We negotiate a fair value for your trade-in and a lower price on your new car. The free Discount Report and Dealer Referral do not include trade-in help.
Car pricing basics
What is the dealer invoice price?
It is what the dealer pays the maker for the car. It is often thousands less than MSRP. Knowing it helps you make a fair offer. Learn more
What is the difference between invoice price and MSRP?
MSRP is the sticker price. Invoice is what the dealer paid. The gap between them is room to negotiate.
Can you negotiate new car prices in Canada?
Yes, on most cars. How much depends on the model, the stock and the time of year. Hot models have less room. Read our guide
What is dealer holdback?
Holdback is money the maker pays the dealer after the sale. It means the dealer can sell near invoice and still make a profit.
What dealer fees should I watch for?
Watch for admin fees, add-ons and protection packages. Some are optional. Ask for the all-in price in writing. See which fees are optional
