What our clients are saying
★★★★★
"I recently bought a car through Car Buying Buddy, and the whole process was incredibly easy and hassle-free. Howard handled everything behind the scenes by email and text, so I didn’t have to deal with calls or negotiations. I shared my car build, he found the best deal, and all I had to do was go to the dealership to sign. I’d absolutely use Car Buying Buddy again."

"I was introduced to Howard by a friend when I urgently needed a car and wasn’t sure whether to go used or new. He let me keep researching used cars while he searched for new ones, and within three days he found a great deal on the new car I wanted. He was easy to reach, gave clear advice, and made the whole process smooth. I’m very happy with my new car and the price I got."

"Howard was wonderful and made my leasing process incredibly smooth. He answered all my questions patiently and transparently, gave solid advice, and handled everything with the dealer so there were no hassles. The dealership honored our agreement and even held the car for me despite other interest. I’ll definitely work with Howard again and recommend him to others."

Your concierge questions, answered
FAQ
What is the difference between a car broker and a concierge?
While traditional brokers are often incentivized by dealerships through kickbacks, Car Buying Buddy is a concierge service that works exclusively for you. Howard brings professional advocacy to your side, using dealer invoice data and a private network to find the best deal with your interests as the sole priority.
How much does Howard's service cost and when do I pay?
We charge a transparent $295 flat fee. Importantly, you only pay if you decide to buy the car Howard negotiated for you. The dealer network search and initial price quotes are always 100% free, ensuring a risk-free experience for our clients.
How much can I realistically save on a new vehicle?
On average, our clients save over $4,000 off the MSRP. Savings depend on the specific make, model, and market availability, but Howard’s deep understanding of dealer margins and inventory levels guarantees you receive the absolute best price available.
What brands do you work with and do you handle used cars?
We specialize exclusively in new vehicles across all dealer brands, including Toyota, Subaru, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Please note that we do not work with used cars, nor do we provide services for Tesla or Rivian models at this time.
Do I have to live in the Bay Area to use Car Buying Buddy?
While Howard is based in Milpitas, CA, our concierge services are available to remote clients across California and nationwide. The entire negotiation process is seamlessly handled via phone and email, allowing you to secure a premium deal from anywhere.
