Burgeoning Trend in Car Buying - Using "Personal Shoppers" Instead of Dealerships

Business Wire, May 20, 2008

VALHALLA, N.Y. -- New car buyers up and down the Eastern seaboard who wish to avoid aggressive dealership sales tactics and have a support company handle all the details and paperwork involved in the lease or purchase of a late model vehicle can now take advantage of Russell Auto Buying (russellautobuying.com), a five-year old white glove service that has extended the scope of its risk-free, no pressure offerings to include customers from Maine to Florida.

"We are essentially a concierge service for prospective car buyers of mid-priced ($35K) and higher cars," said Russell Levine, president of Russell Auto Buying. "Plus, we offer ultra-competitive prices. For example, we typically save customers $25 to $75 per month on leases." But providing personal attention to the needs of its customers is the reason the company gets repeat business, Levine said. "Our team of consultants, researchers and auto financing experts helps customers select the most suitable make and model; we then obtain it for them at a price below what a dealer would charge, handle the red tape -- and deliver it personally to their doorstep."

Russell Auto Buying works closely with customers to provide them the same cars as dealers -- from virtually any manufacturer -- but without their overhead costs and commissions. Once a purchase price or lease agreement is established, Russell Auto Buying handles all the paperwork and a company representative delivers the car anywhere in the United States. Cars obtained through Russell Auto Buying can be serviced at any of the manufacturers' dealerships.

"Many of our clientele know exactly which car they want; others rely on us to make recommendations," said Levine. "They come to Russell Auto Buying because they are fed up with high-pressure sales tactics and prefer an independent company that will put their satisfaction above all else. What they get is the car they really want and need at a price not offered by dealerships which is why the great majority of our customers have always been repeat buyers."
