About Car Hunter LLC Services
What We Do
- Car Hunter LLC is the nation’s most professional concierge car buying service. Located in Oregon, Car Hunter LLC serves customers nationwide. We offer two services: Car Concierge Complete (C3) and Second Opinion Deal Review. These two services create value by saving customers time, money and hassle during their search for a new or used vehicle. In finding your next car, we bring to bear unparalleled professionalism and integrity that comes from experience in buying and selling hundreds of cars. We are passionate about finding you the right car at the right price!
- While we focus on serving automobile buyers now, our Managing Member is a retired attorney and professional labor contract negotiator with a lifelong passion for cars. He applies his client representation, research and negotiation skills to create the highest-quality car finding service available.
CAR CONCIERGE COMPLETE (C3) SERVICE
- The C3Service ensures our interests are 100% aligned with yours in the car hunting process. We are retained by you, and we act solely as a buyer’s agent. We accept no fees, commissions or incentives from dealers. We act as your advocate when finding and negotiating the price of a car. The C3 Service is the right service for you if you are fully capable of locating a car and negotiating a deal, but you just don’t want to invest the time in, or experience the aggravation of, the car buying process. The C3 service is also right for you if you do not know enough about how the car business works to negotiate a great deal on you own, or you simply prefer to use a trusted professional for this kind of service. Once you have experienced Car Hunter LLC’s C3 Service, we think you will never buy a car the old way.
- Here is how the C3 Service works to find you the very best deal on your next new or used vehicle:
- We save you time. Based upon your specifications, we build a profile of the car you want to buy, conduct extensive market research to locate it, negotiate a great price from among competing dealers, and make sure the purchase transaction is extraordinarily smooth and easy. We expect to save you 10 to 20 hours of time in locating the right vehicle and negotiating the final price. In most cases, we will find your car within a few days, or offer you the best option if we determine your exact specifications are not available in the market. At your request, we will search local, regional and national markets. If you decide to buy a non-local car, we will arrange shipping (at your cost) or pick up your car for you and deliver it (for an additional fee). For local cars, we can pick you up at home or work and take you to the dealership to sign completed paperwork, or be on the phone with you when you sign paperwork. In some cases, you may wish to provide us with Power of Attorney, so we can sign paperwork for you and have your car delivered to your home. Our goal is to provide a true concierge vehicle buying service, making this the easiest and most enjoyable buying experience you have ever had.
- We save you money. Once we have located the car you want to buy, we will negotiate a favorable price. Based upon our market research, experience, negotiation skills and dealer relationships, we are very confident we can negotiate a price that is lower than you could negotiate yourself – virtually saving you much more money than the fee we charge. We are also confident we can negotiate a better price than you can get through Costco Wholesale, American Express, TrueCar or other services. We charge a one-time, upfront fee of between $800 and $1,000, depending upon the value of the car you want, the anticipated difficulty of the search, and whether it is a new or pre-owned purchase.
- We eliminate the hassle. Finding and buying a car on your own is a time-consuming hassle. We eliminate all time you’d spend on your own for research, e-mails, telephone calls, and the wasted time at the dealership dealing with sales and finance people whose sole job is get into your pocket or pocketbook. We will arrange appointments for you to see and drive the vehicle. When you buy, we’ll make sure paperwork is ready to sign before you arrive. If you are buying a used car and want a third-party, pre-purchase inspection, we can arrange to have that done for you and investigate the car’s maintenance history and reconditioning. If you like, we also can discuss your trade-in with the dealer and ensure you are getting fair trade-in value, or even obtain buy bids from other sources.
SECOND OPINION DEAL REVIEW SERVICE
- Car Hunter LLC is so confident in its ability to negotiate favorable pricing on new vehicles that we offer a completely complimentary pre-purchase review of any new car purchase you have negotiated on your own. Here’s how the Second Opinion Deal Review Service works:
- You locate and negotiate the best new or used car deal you can.
- Before signing final paperwork, you contact us for a complimentary review and provide us the dealer’s written quote that includes the MSRP, all discounts, fees, taxes, and the trade allowance on your current vehicle (if applicable).
- We review the deal to ensure you are not paying too much.
- If we think it’s a good deal, we’ll simply tell you.
- If not, and we can negotiate a better deal on the overall transaction within 48 hours, you agree to split the difference with us on the amount you save. For example, if we negotiate a deal that is $1,400 better than what you negotiated, then our fee is $700, and you save $700 more than the deal you originally negotiated.
- If we can’t negotiate a better overall deal within 48 hours, then there is no cost to you. You’ve lost nothing, and you can rest assured you have made the best deal possible.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
- We serve clients nationwide and search for cars across the county. For example, it's not unusual to find a car in North Carolina for a client in Alaska.
WHO WE ARE
- Car Hunter LLC's founding principal is Randy Stedman. Randy is a retired Human Resources executive and labor & employment lawyer. In addition to Car Hunter LLC, Randy also owns Workplace Practices Group which provides consulting and expert witness services in the civil litigation of labor and employment law claims. During his business career, Randy often joked that negotiating car deals for others kept his skills sharp for the multi-million dollar labor contracts he negotiated as a lawyer.
- Randy is known for providing outstanding customer service, tirelessly going the extra mile to find his clients the perfect car at the right price.
- In addition finding cars for others, Randy has bought and sold hundreds of cars personally. And, over the course of many decades, Randy has developed a very specific methodology for buying cars at the lowest cost possible. It's not rocket science, but it does take work. If you want to go it alone, the link below shows how to get there.
