Home / Personal Car Shopper: We'll Find the Car for You

Tell us the car you want and your maximum out-the-door budget. We search for it, send you photos, a condition report and the vehicle history of the specific car, and buy it only after you approve — never above your cap. The out-the-door price we quote already includes tax, title, registration and dealer fees. A $500 deposit starts the search and is fully refundable if we can't find a match within 14 days.

Didn't find it on our lot? We'll find it for you.

  • One number: your out-the-door maximum. We never go above it.
  • You approve before we buy. Photos, condition report and vehicle history of the specific car first.
  • Strict buying standards — clean title, no frame damage, no airbag deployment.
  • $500 to start, refundable if we can't find a match in 14 days.

How it works

  1. 1
    Tell us the car

    Make, model, year range, maximum miles, your must-haves — and your maximum out-the-door budget. Use the form on this page or send a text.

  2. 2
    Quick call and a refundable deposit

    We check that the budget is realistic for that car, you sign a short written agreement with your out-the-door cap, and place a $500 deposit to start the search.

  3. 3
    We search for you

    We look through our dealer wholesale network for cars that match your request and pass our buying standards (below).

  4. 4
    You see the specific car

    For each car: photos, a condition report, the vehicle history report and the itemized out-the-door price.

  5. 5
    You approve before we buy

    Nothing is bought without your OK, and never above your out-the-door cap. Say no and we keep looking.

  6. 6
    We buy it and inspect it

    Every purchase gets a post-sale inspection. If the car fails our standards, we do not keep it and you pay nothing for it.

  7. 7
    Delivery in Waltham

    Paperwork, FTC Buyers Guide, title and registration, and your warranty documents. You drive home.

Our buying standards

  • Clean title only — no salvage, rebuilt, flood or junk titles.
  • Vehicle history with no structural or frame damage and no airbag deployment.
  • High condition grade on the condition report.
  • Runs and drives.
  • Mileage within your range.
  • Post-sale inspection on every purchase.

If a car fails our standards, we don't buy it — and you pay nothing for it.

Pricing: one out-the-door number

  • Every price we quote is out-the-door: it includes Massachusetts sales tax, title and registration, and all dealer fees (our documentation fee and our service fee), itemized in writing before you approve the car.
  • Our service fee is included in the quoted price — no surprise add-ons at signing.
  • We never go above your out-the-door cap. If the right car costs more, we tell you and you decide.

Warranty on every car

  • Massachusetts Used Vehicle Warranty on every vehicle, as required by law — the coverage depends on the mileage.
  • Third-party limited warranty included in the price — terms provided before purchase.
  • FTC Buyers Guide on every car, so you see the warranty terms in writing.

The deposit, in plain words

  • $500 starts the search.
  • Fully refundable if we can't find a car that matches your request within 14 days.
  • Changed your mind? If you cancel before approving a specific car, you get the full $500 back.
  • Once you approve a specific car and we buy it, the $500 applies to your purchase and is no longer refundable.
  • If a car fails our buying standards, we don't buy it and you pay nothing for it — the search continues on the same deposit.
  • The full terms are in the short written agreement you sign before paying anything.

Where the cars come from: vehicles are sourced through our dealer wholesale network — other dealers, trade-ins and dealer-only wholesale channels, which may include dealer auctions.

Financing is subject to credit approval. Terms, rate and down payment depend on the lender.

Questions people ask

How is this different from your inventory?

Our lot has the cars we have today. With Personal Car Shopper we go find the specific car you want — the make, model, years and miles you choose — and bring it to Waltham for you.

How much does it cost?

You pay the out-the-door price we quote for the specific car you approve — tax, title, registration and dealer fees included. Our service fee is built into that price and itemized in writing, and it never goes above your out-the-door cap. To start, there is a $500 deposit that applies to the purchase.

Is the deposit refundable?

Yes — the full $500 comes back if we can't find a car that matches your request within 14 days, or if you cancel before approving a specific car. Once you approve a specific car and we buy it, the deposit applies to your purchase and is no longer refundable.

Where do the cars come from?

From our dealer wholesale network: other dealers, trade-ins and dealer-only wholesale channels that are not open to the public.

Can I see the car before you buy it?

You see what we see: photos, the condition report and the vehicle history report of that specific car, plus our honest opinion. Nothing is bought until you approve it.

What if the car has a problem?

Every purchase gets a post-sale inspection. If the car fails our standards, we don't keep it and you pay nothing for it. After delivery, you have the Massachusetts Used Vehicle Warranty (coverage depends on mileage) and the third-party limited warranty included in the price.

How long does it take?

It depends on the car. A common model with a realistic budget is often found within one to three weeks — that is an estimate, not a promise. If we can't find a match within 14 days, you can get your deposit back.

Do I have to take the first car you find?

No. You can say no to any car we show you and we keep looking.

Can I finance it or trade in my car?

Yes. Financing is subject to credit approval, and we can value your trade-in at the start so it counts toward your budget.

Tell us the car you want

No payment now. The $500 refundable deposit is only asked after our call and the signed agreement.
