Why Use Edrive Autos?
|
Top
|
|
Every day, auto dealers across the country need to liquidate thousands of well-maintained, late-model vehicles to make room for new inventory. E-Drive Autos has teamed up with reputable dealers to offer a truly innovative and customer friendly way to purchase a vehicle online. Our customers have “first access” to tens of thousands of vehicles that are normally sold at a dealer-only auction and then resold on a traditional car lot at a considerable mark-up.
By partnering with E-Drive Autos, dealers eliminate all of the overhead costs associated with the traditional auction process, thus offering an E-Drive customer a hassle-free way to buy a great vehicle at a great price. In short, E-Drive Autos offers car shoppers a quick and easy means of researching and purchasing deep-discounted vehicles without the hassle or negotiations that are common when purchasing from a car lot. Best of all, our customers can do this from the convenience of their home or office.

How can these dealers offer such low prices?
|
Top
|
|
Most dealers traditionally sell their wholesale vehicles at dealer-only auctions. By partnering with EDRIVE, they are able to make their vehicles available to a greater market of car buyers without added overhead, thus eliminating the need to send the vehicle to auction. This creates a great value for you and is a cost-effective solution for the dealer.
|
|
|
How do the dealers determine the vehicle selling price?
|
Top
|
|
Every vehicle listed on EDRIVE has been specially priced with a low, no-haggle selling price based upon current median dealer auction prices. This price is generally the lowest price that dealers are willing to accept for the vehicle. This eliminates the need to negotiate, which enables you to review product specifications and make real price trade-offs without the need to waste time haggling over prices - making car shopping more pleasant and low key.
|
|
|
Are there any other costs?
|
Top
|
|
Typically, the selling prices listed do not include state and local sales tax or handling charges. Since these amounts vary by city, state, customer and date, it is not possible to show them online. It is always better to contact the auto specialist at the dealership to get a specific "all-in" price for the vehicle chosen.
|
|
|
Why do prices vary between similar vehicles?
|
Top
|
|
Usually vehicles that appear the same (but are priced differently) have different trim levels or mileage or have been modified with additional equipment. It is best to contact the auto specialist handling the vehicle at the dealership for the exact equipment on the selected vehicle.
|
|
|
Are the posted prices negotiable?
|
Top
|
|
No. Every vehicle is posted with a no-hassle, no-haggle price. There's no negotiating and no pressure. The low price posted is the final price the dealer is willing to accept.
|
|
|
Can I obtain financing on my vehicle?
|
Top
|
|
Yes! Your auto specialist at the dealership can help answer any financing questions you may have and coordinate all your needs. Just ask them to run a few financing scenarios for you.
