Hidden Costs In Car Buying

Dealerships earn substantial profits from “protection” packages: paint sealant, VIN etching, rustproofing, tire-and-wheel coverage, and prepaid maintenance plans. These items often cost the dealer a few hundred dollars yet sell for $1,000–$3,000. Salespeople present them as critical safeguards; in reality, most offer minimal benefit compared to their price.

eCarFinders identifies every one of these profit centers before you sign. During our consultation we map your priorities and budget. We then scour inventories nationwide, shortlisting vehicles that align with your criteria.

Each shortlisted car receives detailed due diligence: complete CarFax analysis, verification of service history against factory intervals, and checks for anomalies such as accident damage, flood exposure, or odometer discrepancies. You receive transparent reports so there are no surprises.

We supply fair-market pricing data drawn from recent sales and industry tools. In negotiation, we coach you (or handle it directly with upgrade) to strip away every non-essential charge. Securing outside financing beforehand prevents hidden interest-rate bumps that can add thousands over the loan term.

Fleet and high-end exotic searches handled case-by-case.
