| Buying a vehicle
can either be one of the best or one of the worst experiences that a
person can have, not to mention one of the most expensive purchases
they will make next to their home. After personally having to
deal with a less than honest automobile dealer, I wanted to offer a
service that would take the risk and frustration out of this
undertaking. And understanding that the car business is known for
its questionable representations, I apply the same philosophy to my
business that I use in my personal life: if anything is worth doing
it's worth doing 110%. So, I only offer the finest examples of
each product that I sell or represent, and I offer my clients the most
thorough and efficient personal attention that I can. |
Below is an
explanation of my nationwide locating services, how you as the customer
are involved in the process, and the fees for retaining my
services. Please keep in mind that I always prefer to speak with
potential clients before beginning a locating search, so please call me
at any time to discuss the procurement of your next automobile.
|
| Initial
Steps:
During our initial conversation I
will discuss with you
exactly what you are looking for in an automobile. Having a good "feel"
for what you expect for your money, how you plan to use the car, your
preferred interior and exterior colors, its mileage, transmission type,
etc. are all very important to the process. We will also discuss your
expectations -vs- the current activity of the market and the maximum
price you are willing to pay for the perfect example of what you are
looking for. Since we will be acting as your eyes and ears, we
are much more effective if there is a full understanding of your
thoughts, ideas and expectations about your next automobile.
|
| I have had a few
potential customers inquire as to the value of my services over what
they can do for themselves. In response, I have always told them
that although I sometimes do utilize services that are accessible to
them (the Internet being one), I feel that the sources that I have
available to me are much more in-depth and specialized. The web
sites that I utilize are
in the 30+ range, and I search them regularly. Along with access to the
inventory of over 265 nationwide highline auto dealers I regularly do
business with, I also have access to vehicles that are in private
collections, in dealership service departments for service, are in the
process of being traded-in, or are just available for purchase and are
not advertised anywhere on the retail market. I also subscribe to
a wide range of automobile magazines and marque-specific publications
that allow me to keep abreast of the special interest automobile market. |
Although some
automobiles I have located in the past have come from the Internet,
most of my purchases come from either private individuals or from
wholesale and retail dealers that I have a working business
relationship with. My available selection extends throughout the
country, and I usually won't even consider vehicle purchased directly
from an auction. Therefore, nearly all automobiles that I
represent will have been driven and inspected by people that I know and
trust.
Finally,
there is nothing more important than the experience needed to
purchase a vehicle on a national level. For me, this process is an
everyday occurrence, and I am able use this experience to benefit
you. It is a very different way of buying a vehicle, but I
believe that it is the only way to find the truly perfect vehicle. And
I have hundreds of customers who have purchased their dream cars in
exactly this manner.
|
| Locating
Process & Final Steps: |
| After our initial
conversation I will begin searching for autos based on the
specifications you have given me. It will usually take me from three to
seven days to find between five and twenty vehicles that match your
criteria. Before I am in touch with you again I will call the
owners of each of these automobiles and obtain all of the important
information on each of them. The VIN number, proof of recent
service or repairs, ownership history, and option codes are all
important pieces of information that I try to obtain. Next comes your
decision on which of the cars that I have located interests you the
most. Once the group is narrowed down, more information and
pictures are requested, a title history search is performed, and the
top candidates will be taken for a complete pre-purchase inspection at
a facility chosen by me. |
Although I always
try to locate automobiles that are within driving distance of my
company, the exclusivity of certain brands and models limits the
available choices, thus making travel to personally view the vehicle
impossible. In these cases I will utilize various different
resources to research the history and current condition of the
vehicle. Running CarFax and AutoCheck inquiries is one such tool,
as well as insisting on a full pre-purchase inspection performed on the
automobile by an honest and reputable third-party mechanic. If time or
finances limits you from personally flying in to take possession of
your newest purchase, then nationwide door-to-door enclosed delivery
can easily be arranged. From the first to last step, the
utilization of my services reduces the entire purchasing process to a
very few simple steps and choices.

| Retainer
for Services & Fees: |
Like any of
our
endeavors, we start with the Jerry Maguire (show me the money). On the
specialty cars that we deal in, we'll not accept the locating
assignment on a casual basis; instead requiring a contract be
established first. More than
once I
have spent
quite a bit of time, effort, and money trying to locate a car for a
less than serious buyer, leaving me with nothing but an elevated
telephone bill and a lot of wasted time! Not to mention the time
spent by dealers and private individuals in the telephone calls, faxes,
and e-mails that is required in order for us to obtain the kind of
photographs and information that serious buyers expect and insist
on. Before the first
steps of the locating process are begun I require that a two-hundred
fifty dollar ($250.00) locating retainer. In 11+ years all of
our clients have always been very understanding of this part of our
corporate policy.
|
Compensation for our
services will
be obtained from the final selling price of the vehicle, and will
amount to no less than 6% of the Gross selling price with a $1,550.00
minimum, not including the initial $250.00 initial locating
retainer. Any compensation accepted below 6% will be subject to
the approval of Buxton Motorsports staff. The final
selling price of the vehicle
will include the car, additional full compensation for my services, and
if the vehicle is picked up from BMI, a complete interior and exterior
detail and a full tank of gas. As a
registered IN dealer we will also be able to provide you with a 31 day
temporary tag and all of the required tax and licensing paperwork upon
delivery of your vehicle.
|
*Please
note: Unless the cost is negotiated into the final selling price of the
vehicle, the cost of transportation of the auto to you or to BMI and
the cost of all pre-purchase inspections, taxes, etc. are the
responsibility of the buyer.
|
| Advantages
of Buxton Motorsports, Inc: |
| There are many
benefits to dealing with a small, individually owned company such as
BMI. One is experience and expertise. With over five and a half
years of professional experience as a registered Indiana auto dealer,
the inter-state purchase and sale of vehicles is a daily occurrence for
me. This makes the purchasing process extremely straightforward,
effortless, and much less risky for the buyer. |
| Second is the fact
that I am very well known for the quality and caliber of vehicles that
I locate and sell. The examples that I recommend for your consideration
are always vehicles that I would keep in my own inventory. There are
far too many autos available for purchase to even consider tainting my
hard earned reputation with a less than exceptional vehicle. In
fact, several of our sales have been PCA concours, People's Choice, and
Porsche Parade National trophy winners! |
| Third, I take
pride in what I do, and I know and love the cars that I sell. For
years my love has been automobiles of all types, and what better way to
run a business than to be passionate about what you do? By doing
business with me you will always be in contact with the owner, and I or
my staff will always be working to find you the best automobile for
your money. Plus,
unlike your local dealership, many of my vehicles are pre-sold.
Consequently, inventory levels are smaller, and overhead is
exceptionally low - leading to more of your money being applied to your
purchase. |
|
| The final buyer
advantage is that I am honest, and I offer a great deal of very
personal service to the purchaser. I am an auto enthusiast, and
not a "used car salesman," and am the Founder and President of the So.
IN Region PCA. I involve myself personally in what I do, and I
have personally owned almost everything that I sell. Finding you
the car that you want and
your satisfaction with your purchase are my first concerns. I
want your vehicle to surpass your expectations, and I strive to make
that evident in every deal that I put together. |
Again, thank you
for your interest in my company and our services. I hope to hear from
you soon!
