Why do I pay less for my car using AutoBySite.com?

Our efficient service helps lower dealer overhead, and the savings are passed on to you; and - unlike other online car buying services - we are NOT a brokerage, so we don't charge our Certified Dealers on a per-car or per-customer basis.

Am I obligated to purchase the vehicle once I've submitted a Purchase Request?

Of course not. However, FEEL FREE to use AutoBySite.com as often as you wish as a "shopping service" to get pricing on multiple vehicles.

May I submit more than one Purchase Request?

In the case of new cars, we ask that you submit a request for the vehicles you wish to purchase. If you are considering multiple vehicles then multiple Purchase Request are encouraged. They are available at no charge to you.

Because the AutoBySite.com Pre-Owned classifieds inventory changes daily, we understand that you may need to submit multiple pre-owned Car Purchase Requests. (Though we make every effort to update the database in a timely manner, there may be some instances when you've selected a vehicle that is no longer in stock. In that case, the certified AutoBySite.com Dealer will advise you of its unavailability.)

When can I expect to receive title for my new vehicle?

The laws and procedures of the state where the vehicle is sold govern the time it takes to receive your title. Generally a selling dealer will either complete the title and registration process for you and provide you with a temporary registration or will provide you with the documentation necessary to transfer title at your local department of Motor Vehicles. It is not uncommon for this process to take up to 90 days. Pre-Owned vehicles and titles being transferred from out of state may take a bit longer. If you are concerned that your title and registration are taking too much time to complete, you are encouraged to contact the selling dealership's title and registration department for a status update.

The pre-owned vehicle I wanted has been sold, what can I do?

AutoBySite.com's staff works closely with Accredited dealerships to insure as complete and fresh an inventory of Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles as we possibly can. Though we have tens of thousands of vehicles listed for sale at any given time, this is no match for the sheer size of the Internet market. We receive over 1 million inquiries for pre-owned vehicles alone each month! Often times a vehicle is sold within hours of being posted in the Classifieds. If your vehicle is unavailable, try again. Chances are additional vehicles have been added which may meet your needs. If you are willing to travel, you have the option of expanding your search area hundreds if not thousands of miles. Your dream car may be just over the horizon. Many of our Accredited dealers can arrange alternative delivery options and other accommodations, which may make the additional distance seem like only a minor inconvenience.
