An Alternative Buying
Strategy

The client writes a check for the amount that ACS has negotiated. The final figure-and all the details supporting that figure-appears on the order form that the client receives and approves. The check is made out directly to the selling dealer, and ACS states that they do not collect any fee or commission from the selling dealer.

Other Services ACS will help you through a lease agreement and show you how to negotiate the best terms and what to look for in the contract. They also provide a monthly payment quote based upon the best lease sources available. Their fee for this is $99 per vehicle.

If you prefer to do your own negotiation ACS will provide you with a target number based on the invoice plus the rebates. Fee is $29 per quote sheet.

Can You Deliver Any Car at or Below Invoice? They work nationwide and cover all makes and models with the exception of Saturn. They claim they can deliver most domestics at invoice and some cars even lower. It depends on the dealer rebates.

"Suburbans are $750 over and I can get them. Many imports we get are at invoice."

What Guarantees Do You Offer? "If someone is unhappy with our services, we offer a complete refund. This rarely happens. Much of our business is referral and repeat, which means that people understand we honor our guarantee." Their written guarantee reads as follows:

"Automobile Consumer Services, Inc.; agrees to refund all service fees, upon client's proof of a signed buyer's order from a new car dealer for an identical vehicle at a selling price less than the ACS selling price, dated prior to the ACS quotation. "
