I heard about Authority Auto Buying Specialists when they advertised on the radio, so when I needed a car, I gave them a call. And I've got to tell you, I had a great experience. I can't recommend them highly enough. I met Oren, the owner, personally. He's a great guy, and provided great service... AND I got the car I wanted at the most competitive price out there.
Authority Auto Buying Specialists is a unique car buying experience. Whether you buy or lease, it's like having your own Auto Industry Insider getting you a great deal on any car make or model you're looking for. They have extensive knowledge and experience, and they do not accept dealer commissions, because they're looking out for YOUR best interest.

Authority Auto exceeded all my expectations!! Not only were they able to get me a great deal on a 2010 Ford F-150 SVT RAPTOR 6.2L but they were also able to sell both of my used cars, practically over night, and for a great price as well. Plus, Oren and his team took all the leg work out of the deal, they secured a great financing rate, organized all the dealer documents and delivered the car to my front door. I can't imagine purchasing a car any other way! The money Authority Auto saved me on the new purchase and the higher than expected sale price for my used cars more than covered the cost of their exceptional service.

I would like to start off by thanking you for the wonderful and exciting experience that my wife and I had in our meeting with you.
From the first moment that we met in your office and through the follow up phone calls, I cant say enough about how wonderful and warm you made us both feel. I have had countless experience throughout my years of dealing with individuals in the sales world, but few have met your standard of professionalism. Your attention to details, the care and concern that you demonstrated to us, goes without saying. The phone calls from you, alerting me of another and yet another pleasant surprise in our search for the perfect Kia Sorento for my wife added more confidence in that you would be able to fulfill our request. And to top off the adventure, you had the car delivered to our home allowing me the pleasure of surprising her even further. Andy, the look on her face and tears that rang out even made my dealings with you ever so more grateful.
Mr. Weintraub, it was a pleasure having met you and thank you for having Andy attend to us. He is a great asset to your company.
We want to thank you once again for the tremendous effort that you took upon yourself in making our car buying experience with you, unforgettable.
Sincerely,
Jordi and Linda C.

Kim rocks! I found Authority Auto on Edmunds.com and they completely provided exactly what I needed. My wife and I just had our first baby and we simply didn't have the time to research and shop for cars. Kim persuaded me that buying new made more sense than a used car in my case, an option I hadn't previously entertained. That alone probably saved me a couple thousand dollars in the long run. On top of that, he got me a fantastic price on my car and secured a better interest rate than I was able to get on my own. I haven't purchased a car from a dealer in about 16 years and I certainly wasn't looking forward to the experience. It was such a relief to walk into the dealership knowing everything had already been taken care of. Kim didn't just find me a car, he listened and understood what I needed, delivered it and followed through during and after the sale. I'll definitely use Authority Auto for our next purchase.

Authority Auto,
So I have had my Maserati for a couple months now. The Authority Auto team did an amazing job, and found the perfect car I was looking for, a black Maserati Gransport. The car is so gorgeous that it was recently featured in 30 Seconds to Mars upcoming music video, and can be seen driving through the streets of nighttime Chicago. The pic shown shows Jared Leto, lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars manning the camera as the car zips by. Authority Auto will definitely play a part for all of my future vehicle purchases, and I plan on referring them to anyone that is looking for that 'special car.'

One word: UNBELIEVABLE!!! My initial search was for a 2009 model used car. Kim made every effort to locate and secure the vehicle. He kept me posted throughout the search. Kim called me after 3 days and explained he had located a vehicle but that the car dealer would not move on the price and then he began to enlightened me of the whole used car buying process. Kim then advised me about purchasing a new vehicle...I could get a new vehicle at the same price as the used vehicle. A no-brainer. Kim called the following day and asked, "Are you ready to ride?" He directed me to the local dealer. I test drove the car, the nice salesman tutored me on all the bells and whistles, I signed the paper work and I was out. Incredible. When I walked into the dealership, I could see the salesmen converge on me as if I were shark bait but Kim had provided my cloak of safety. Not only did I get the exact vehicle I wanted (color, options), I got it for $10,000.00 less than the MSRP.
Unfortunately, we live in a culture that requires law enforcement. In the auto industry, we require Authority Auto Car Buying.
Thanks Guys

I have always considered myself a shrewd negotiatior and very skilled at working my own car deals but Authority Auto has changed the way I will forever negotiate a car deal. I called Authority Auto initially to assist with the sale of my current car and Kim substantially improved a good offer in 2 hrs! Kim then negotiated my first Carrera S and got me the car for $50750 down from $57999 the original asking price. Simply outstanding service and attention to detail.
Cannot say enough good things about this company.

Dear Oren & Rica,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know what a pleasure it has been working with Scott Sherman.
Scott couldn't have been more accomodating. He must have contacted at least 14 dealer's, as well as
Nissan themselves to procure & track down my exact color coordinates for the truck I was purchasing.
Scott even sniffed out the Port Doc's to find out who & when my exact color combo was being delivered.
Scott left no stone unturned in his unrelenting quest to track down my exact dream truck!
Needless to say, Scott's inside information, his golden Roledex and plethora of auto contacts,
cut right through to locate and negotiate my desired vehicle. Most importantly, Scott proved time
and time again that he not only had the relationships in place to ensure our mutual success, but
the innate ability to dialogue successfully with anyone, anywhere and at any time. From the
new Nissan Dealers in LA to the more remote Nissan Dealer in Moline, IL, Scott represented my best
interests in ways that few Executives could. His attitude, follow-through and sense of focus and
passion for his vocation came through every time. Scott is a true Professional in every sense of
the word and speaking of sense, Scott's sense of humor during what for those dealing with typical
"dealers" was transformed into an enjoyable, painless journey to locate, transfer and negotiate a
tremendously impressive deal on the truck of my choosing. I could not be more happy and needless to
say, I wish I had known about Scott or for that matter wish that your unconditional service were
around 10 or even 20 year's ago. Anyone who values their time and considers their time as being
synonymous with money would be foolish not to hire Authority Auto. Not only have I
begun to recommend your service to friends & family, you can rest assured that I will only purchase
future cars, trucks & fleets through your company.
Finally, my last comment: I'm jealous that I did not think of the concept first!
Once again,
Thank you for providing me with a stellar experience, a rare comment associated with traditional auto purchasing.
Kind Regards,
Dylan J.
Northfield, IL

Oren was recommended to me by a colleague at work. I was told that he could save me some money and take the hassle out of the entire car leasing experience. He not only exceeded my expectations, but he brought me a deal that could not be beat! I saved thousands of dollars and spent less than an hour in the dealership signing documents and taking delivery of my new car. Ill never buy or lease another car without his services!

This letter shall serve as a testimonial on behalf of my wife and I for the exceptional service provided to our family by Authority Auto and most notably, the hands on, informative, and incessant attention and dialogue afforded by its principal and founder, Mr. Oren Weintraub, throughout. My wife and I started with the notion of purchasing a preowned vehicle and after thorough research and propsective purchases brought to our attention, we steered our focus to a completely different vehicle. Authority Auto transitioned its focus and attention with ease and gratitude by characterizing the request as "part of the process and service". The service provided saved us a tremendous amount of time and research. We ultimately ended up with our vehicle of choice and the negotiated price was within the comfort of our budget. The fee for the services provided was well absorded by the deal negotiated. Upon presentation for the pick up of the vehicle, I was astounded by the fact that all of the paperwork was completed and merely required my brief review and execution. Of course, I was well informed in advance of the deal points negotiated by Mr. Weintraub. The transaction was not painstaking and merely required signatures and tender of payment. What ease and joy! Truly. My wife and I feel we were and continue to be in the trusted and capable hands of an experienced source, with Authority Auto. All the best and thank you.

Not that there was ever any doubt in my mind but I knew I got the best possible deal when the salesman at the dealership told me that I got the car for a price cheaper than what he could get it for. Authority Auto has made a client for life! I will (and have already) recommended them to everyone! THANK YOU!

Oren,
Thanks again for your diligent work. As you know this was my second pre-owned car purchase through Authority in less than a year. The level of service and professionalism that you consistently exhibit is unusual, in the best sense of that term, in the automotive sales business. My only regret is that I didnt find your service years ago. In my opinion, Authority Auto is the only way to buy a car.
hope it helps.

i had bought my last two cars through a car buying service with great results. unfortunately that company was unable to assist me in my recent search for an Infiniti FX-50. i did some research and determined that Authority Auto had some good feedback from sources that I trust, (e.g., Edmunds.com, etc). the search for the car took a while, due to there being a limited number of cars available with the options i wanted. my rep at authority auto worked tirelessly to find the right car. even going as far as contacting the manfucturer to understand future shipments. once we found the car, the transaction was done in less than a day. i picked the car up the next day. my authority rep negoitated a price under dealer invoice and got me a very competitive financing rate. the whole experience was great. i literally spent just over 1 hour at the dealer. my rep was in constant contact with me throughout the process even while i was at the dealer and several days after the transaction. i highly recommend authority for anyone buying a used car. they are competent, professional, and get results. I would definitely engage them again in the future.
hope it helps.

Oren Weintraub was a pleasure to work with, and I plan to work with him again on my next car purchase. He came to me highly recommended from several friends. Basically, working with a car expert gave me a strong sense of confidence in buying my used car. I am a discerning and diligent buyer of anything, and I feel comfortable negotiating deals by myself, but I am a busy guy, so having Oren do most of the legwork, research, negotiation, and arranging inspection was very valuable for me. Also, I always felt like I had his full attention on the phone and via email, and I am not an easy customer in this regard. He was always very responsive. Definitely recommend Authority Auto.

We couldn't be more pleased with the service we got from Authority Auto. We were able to get the car we wanted without some extras the dealer adds (he made them take them off) and the perk of having the car delivered and avoiding the dreaded finance office was in itself worth the price.
They also got us more for our trade in than we ever would have gotten on our own. We have purchased many cars thru the years and I can honestly say this is the first time I feel we got a fair deal and didn't end up just giving our trade in away.
They also answered my questions promptly and made me feel like I was their only client at the time, and I'm sure that wasn't the case.

I was very satisfied with the help I received from Authority Auto, and from Kim. I had visited a few dealerships and done some websearching, but found the process unpleasant and time consuming. Then we learned our family dog of 17 years was dying, and I really wanted to spend my time helping her and my daughters through this. I spoke with 2 other car buying brokers, but they seemed far too much like the carsalesmen themselves, very superficial, hard to pin down, and using pressure sales tactics themselves. I called Authority Auto, and it was a match. Kim was informative and open. He helped me get the truck I needed with a minimum of time spend at the dealership, and with his support while I was there. Pretty died friday, at home in my daughters arms. Having Authority Auto take over much of the "gruntwork" of car buying was well worth it to me, and I hope to use them again.
Thank you,

I researched this company for a while and the effort paid off. I received great service and more importantly a no hassle and no haggle experience in buying a new car. I did not have to see, listen or talk to a car salesman at all. Kim from Authority Auto took care of the whole transaction. I chose color and specs on the phone with Kim and I got my new car delivered to my house like a pepperoni pizza. I new I got the best deal ever on a new Toyota Camry. Authority Auto has the know-how on how to get the absolute lowest price on a car. I am going to recommend them to my friends and relatives who are thinking of buying a car. Thanks guys.

My wife and I needed to replace her 2001 BMW 330i with an SUV to accommodate our new little bundle of joy. We decided on a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. We had negotiated a deal and then I remembered reading about Authority Auto on Edmunds.com and decided to try your "Improve your deal" services. They were extremely easy to talk with and very willing to help. Their first assessment as we spoke on the phone was that I had found a really good deal. But after a few minutes it became obvious that they found opportunities to save even more money. Ultimately, they secured an additional $1300.00 in savings from my deal. What would have taken me a few days to get negotiated, Authority Auto completed in under 30 minutes. I learned some valuable lessons from the experience. One was that the next car I buy I'll just call you guys first and save myself a ton of time and trouble. The other lesson was that not only do you save your customers' money, but you give excellent advice and guidance throughout the process.
It was a pleasure working with you and definitely look forward to working with you on our next purchase.
Very best regards,

Authority Auto gets it. They are responsive and easy to deal with. They found the exact car I wanted at a tremendous discount. I felt like I was in charge and not subjected to the salesman yoyo routine with some sales manager behind a closed door. After the buy decision was made Authority Auto stayed in constant contact until the car was delivered to my door. Absolutely no buyer's remorse on this deal.

Dear Authority Auto:
I just wanted to let you know that Oren did a fantastic job in acquiring
my new vehicle after the previous dealership gave me the run around and
even tried taking advantage of me (which is now remedied). I received
the car by truck and Oren never once shifted responsibility nor dropped
my concerns! I am speechless. I wish I would have just used Authority
Auto from the get-go.
Anyhow, I'm loving my new Infiniti and the financing plan Oren worked
out along with getting custom splash guards and all-season mats set up
on the car made it really convenient (I've since tinted the windows and
added a clear-bra btw). I couldn't ask for a better car buying
experience. Thanks once again Oren, keep doing what you're doing for us!
Will get in touch with you next time for sure.

Hi Oren,
Last Friday a rare, beautiful, 2008 green Mazda MX-5 Miata arrived in my Seattle driveway after its cross-country trip from Nashville where your excellent associate, Kim, found the vehicle.
Telling Kim that I wanted a 2008 green Miata with six speed MT and black interior - and nothing else - we agreed that it might be like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack since Mazda stopped producing the green ones. Making the challenge more difficult, there are hardly any Miatas on the road with my specs request. After about five weeks of searching, Kim found my green six speed "needle" - on my birthday no less! Furthermore, the deal he negotiated and the car he found are truly exceptional.
The 2008 Miata has only 3,400 miles and is still under warranty. Equally amazing, Kim finalized a price that is $6,000 below Kelly Bluebook retail. Heck, even with Authority Auto's fee and the shipping fee included, the Miata is priced below Kelly Bluebook WHOLESALE. Kim basically found me a 2009 car at a 2006 price.
Always taking calls immediately, Kim answered all my questions and took care of every single detail of the much dreaded car buying experience. I cannot possibly recommend his skill and professionalism enough to justify the deal he located for me. Your staff also displayed customer service as wonderful as Kim's.
Authority Auto does an outstanding job Oren. People purchasing a car would be foolish not to call your company and have Kim not only do all the work but save them a bundle of money in the process.
Thank you Oren!

Last week, I leased a new car with the help of Oren Weintraub, of Authority Auto. I found his professionalism and experience to be exactly what I needed when considering a new car. I was confused about exactly what I wanted, but with his guidance, I was able to make a fabulous choice that is perfect for me.
Oren, you handled everything, flawlessly! I appreciated the benefit of your knowledge and professionalism when assisting me in the selection of the, the make, model and even options of my new vehicle. You helped me acquire the perfect automobile for me at a price I never would have been able to negotiate on my own. I've never purchased a car with the assistance of a broker before. Now, I know that I will never do it any other way! Everything went smoothly and quickly, without as much as a moment's stress or anxiety.
Not only was the purchase simple, my new vehicle was delivered to my door and my old car was driven away, with a generous trade-in price. My new Lexus RX350 is a car, that until now, I had only dreamed of owning. Thanks to you, Oren, it has become a reality. I have a new car that I love, at an incomparable price. Thank you for everything. I will return to your firm when I am ready for my next purchase.

I would like to state that the people at Authority Auto were very professional throughout the transaction.
They listened to my needs and got me the car I wanted within four days. The best part of dealing with Authority Auto is that I did not have to haggle with a salesperson in a dealership. The people at Authority Auto really know the inside of the car business. They relieve you of the stress and headaches in purchasing a vehicle. It was not money wasted, it was money well spent!

Working with Kim Havaat was an easy pleasant process. I should have started with Authority Auto instead of wasting time going to several dealers myself. I got the run around and several bad prices. I wanted a special combination of colors and features and Kim got a great price. When my new Audi arrived it was actually $70 less than I expected. Thanks Kim, for your great work.

Oren Weintraub got a great deal on my new car that far exceeded my expectations and most certainly, my own negotiating ability. He also created a process that included dignity and integrity which came as a tremendous relief after very unpleasant haggling forced by the dealer. It may seem unconventional at first to purchase a car through a third party, and may require some to take a leap of faith, but believe, me, it was well worth it!! Orren saved me a very substantial sum of money and eliminated the stress of negotiating on my own. Thank you Oren.

Dear Rica and Oren,
I am grateful that a friend told me about your firm. While I enjoy shopping for most other things, shopping and securing a car is a process that I loathe.
The services of Authority Auto were worth every penny paid. It was a pleasurable process (thank your Oren for your upbeat, enjoyable interaction including even a group Happy Birthday tune on my birthday).
The services were appreciated out the gate with important information on available product in the market place. Walking into a showroom with a scheduled appointment to test drive a brand was even easy....no discussions about money, no pressure about buying a car that day, nothing but customer service and information.
There is no way I could have secured my first choice car for the payments and terms that you found for me. I would not have had the time or the expertise to accomplish anything close to the final terms of my lease.
I can recommend the services of Authority Auto with absolutely no reservations, and will do so.
Regards,
Diane C. of Sherman Oaks, CA

Again I wanted to tell you how pleased I was with the services provided. As you know, it just took all the worry out of making the deal myself and made the actual face to face at the dealer when making the purchase a relatively pleasant experience. It felt good to be able to tell the salesman I would have to let Authority Auto look over the proposal in much the same manner as the salesman has to let his manager look over the offer..Fighting fire with fire so to speak..Anyway it was well worth the fee to know I got the best deal available and I will not hesitate to recommend Authority Auto to my friends.

This is my second car purchased through Authority Auto and I can honestly say doing it any other way just does not make sense. You simply cannot get a better deal nor a more hassle free experience than when dealing with Authority Auto. I purchased a 2009 Mercedes 550SL and my final price was over twenty seven thousand dollars off sticker and they had it delivered to my house. I am a customer for life. Thanks Oren-- you guys ROCK!

Hello Oren,
I would like to let you and your staffs know how much I appreciate your help in finding my new car recently. After my car accident I was already frustrated with the fact that I was hit and to think about having to find another car to go to and from work as soon as possible was something I didn't want to have to deal with. After your help last year in finding a reliable car at a great price, I didn't hesitate to ask for your help again this time. Both times, your services were quick, reliable as well as responsible. I love the fact that you took care of finding me the best deal in town and continue to negotiate for a better price and warrantee for me. I also appreciate your responsibleness in looking over my contract afterwards and provide me with advice. Thank you very much for your help and I will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and family.
Thank you,

This is the third car Authority Auto got for me. It's rather obvious that I am very satisfied with the job they did otherwise I wouldn't come back to Authority Auto again and again. In fact I think this time they outdid themselves. I got a 2010 Lexus ES-350 for a better deal than Authority Auto got for me on the 2007 Lexus IS-250. And of course I didn't have to go anywhere - the car was delivered to my house. When my wife saw how well Authority Auto did for me she decided, within days, to get a new Lexus RX-350. Not only did she get a great deal too, but Authority Auto arranged for the sale of the 2003 Lexus RX-300 for an almost unbelievable price. There is no way we'll ever get another car without Authority Auto's assistance!

There is nothing more unsettling for a rather overconfident woman than to receive a call from Oren informing her that he got a further reduction of 25% on her down payment and another saving of $20/month on her lease payment! I was told by the manager that there was nothing left on the table and I gullibly believed it!
Thank you for helping me with my third car! Your thoughtfulness and follow up care did not end with that call; I was very touched to receive an email from you today inquiring about my new car, just as I was pulling out in my new wheels.

Working with Oren, when purchasing my BMW 7 series, was easy and stress free! He was able to get me a deal that topped any of the 3 dealers I visited - and that included his service fee. My car was delivered to my door, in pristine condition along with lessons on how to operate all the bells and whistles. I could not be happier.

Oren thanks for the service. Authority Auto is like having a friend in the business. I really appreciated improve your deal service. I cut what I thought was the best deal on the best car. You were able to save me a little money but more importantly you were able to make me feel confident in my $30,000.00 decision. You were able to help me make my deadline of surprising my wife at the curb of the airport with her new/used Audi A6. She was beyond surprised. Thanks again.

Working with Oren at Authority Auto to buy a used car was a pleasure. In just two days I purchased a 2004 PT Cruiser with low mileage at an excellent price negotiated by Oren.

After enduring a horrible car-buying experience (where the car we were in the process of buying was sold out
from under usat a dealership)
we decided we were done dealing with that process on our own. That's when we came across Authority Auto.
After talking with Oren, we became immediately comforted with his first-hand knowledge
of the car-industry and that we were going to be taken care ofnot taken advantage of.
SInce we had already found a car we liked, a Certified 2007 Lexus RX350, we took advantage of their
Improve your Deal service. After leaving the dealer with their "rock-bottom" price in hand, we called Authority Auto.
Oren made a call to the dealer and negotiated an extra $1,000 off the price. In addition, he researched comparable cars
with similar options and gave us the piece of mind that we were indeed getting a good deal for that particular car. And,
he was available to us throughout the whole paperwork process in case we needed any assistance.
I'm happy to say that I will no longer have to go through the car-buying ordeal alone again. I highly recommend
Authority Auto without any reservations and will definitely be using them for my next car purchase.

We heard about Authority Auto on the Dennis Prager show. We were looking for a RAV 4, found the one we wanted, got what we thought was an OK deal. We contacted Authority Auto and let them do their thing. Between the price of the car and the trade-in, they save us over $2700. We highly recommend them to anyone shopping for a new car.
Thanks again.

To anyone planning on a new or used car purchase;
I have had the pleasure of working with Authority Auto for my last four (4) car purchases, three of them new and one used. After this experience I would never even attempt to buy a car without their help and guidance. The experience was remarkable for its efficiency, thoroughness and success. I recommend their service to everyone without reservation.

Were it not for Authority Auto and Serge, our agent, we'd still be wasting time in various local dealerships. Instead, we completed purchase in record time and, for once, paid a very good price for a popular and fairly scarce car.
Before Authority Auto, we wasted hours at our former dealer with no results, and knew it was time for a different and more rational approach. After Authority Auto, we completed purchase, including verifying negotiated figures, finalizing trade price (as planned, since our trade had not been physically examined) and driving off the lot. It's hard to imagine why anyone would not take advantage of this service. We even identified the "better" and "worse" local dealerships in the process. Thanks so much for pioneering a saner approach to vehicle purchase that levels the playing field.

Thanks again, Authority Auto. Top notch work. :)

I had the pleasure of dealing with Authority Auto several weeks ago when my wife and I purchased a 2009 Honda Pilot Touring with DVD and RES in Bali Blue Pearl,
the EXACT car that she wanted. Shortly thereafter, we began the search for a late model Chevy Tahoe,
certified pre-owned, with DVD and RES. Once again, I sent Authority Auto on the search and rescue mission,
and sure enough, they delivered. They found a 2007 Chevy Tahoe in Orange County,
CA that met all of my needs and wants. As the dealership was about 90 minutes from my house,
they coordinated having the vehicle brought to a half-way point for an inspection and test drive.
I met the salesperson at the Hollywood Park and Casino parking lot, where I was blown away by the vehicle.
It was everything that we were looking for and more. It only had 14,500 miles on it, and was in great shape.
Authority Auto helped negotiate a good deal with the dealership, as well as coordinate the sale and pickup of my 2003
Ford Expedition to his wholesaler. My wife and I are exceptionally pleased with the two vehicles that Authority Auto
helped us find and purchase. We got exactly what we were looking for, and have
already (and will continue) to recommend Authority Auto to our friends and family.

My wife and I are exceptionally pleased with the service we received from Authority Auto.
They assisted us in locating the exact car that my wife had wanted. We had searched the
local dealerships, gone in for a test drive, and knew exactly what we wanted.
We received internet quotes from (dealer name removed) and they quoted us a price,
but after multiple emails requesting confirmation that the EXACT vehicle that we wanted was
immediately available (before we drove 80 miles to their dealership), they never responded.
The three dealerships that we went to all told us that the Bali Blue Pearl 2009 Honda Pilot
Touring edition with DVD and Navigation was unavailable, and we would have to either switch colors,
switch options, or wait for the 2010 models. I found Authority Auto online. Within a couple of
days they had located the vehicle in the Northern California town of Concord, and worked a great deal
for about $5,000 less than we would have gotten on our own. They also negotiated a great price for our
trade in. The dealership brought the new car to our driveway, we signed all of the paperwork in our
kitchen, and the dealership representative drove our trade in away. It was truly the best car
buying experience we have ever had. We are so pleased, that we are now having them find a
vehicle for me! I highly recommend Authority Auto for all new car purchases. You cannot beat
the price, the service, or the relief that comes from never having to deal with the normal
headaches and hassle of the car buying experience.

To Authority Auto Car Buying Specialists
Recently, I hoped to purchase a special vehicle (Hybrid with HOV sticker) for my daughter who lives in LA.
I live in Colorado. It seemed a difficult task. I could not afford the time or effort to work with my daughter
to purchase this car. In doing some research on the internet, I found your organization came highly recommended.
It even said while it seemed to be too good to be true, it was exactly what it seemed.
After going through the process with one of your agents, I am extremely pleased to say how happy my daughter
and I were with the experience. You said everything would go extremely smoothly and it did.
You made all the negotiations to the best price for both our purchase and the trade in and coached my
daughter during the actual purchase. The money I paid your organization was easily made up by the
savings you were able to negotiate and by the time I saved. We are extremely happy with the experience
and will most likely use your organization again at our next auto purchase.
Thanks again for the extremely friendly, productive and smoothly run service for our purchase.

I wanted to provide a testimonial on the quality service I received from Kim Haavet at Authority Auto: I recently left my former employer to pursue a business opportunity that I could not pass up. In the process of accepting the new role, I had to relinquish my company car which meant that I would be without a vehicle to begin my new career. Due to the fact that my new company is in it's early stages, there is more work to do than I can possibly keep up with and consequently, the last thing I needed to be doing was haggling for a vehicle.
I had heard about Authority Auto on KRLA 870 AM Talk Radio and knew that I needed to give their service a try. Kim was able to get me pricing on two different vehicles while I focused on my work. He was prompt in getting pricing to me and very patient with my various questions. Once I decided on the exact vehicle I wanted, Kim helped me with various pricing options by providing both a great purchase price as well as a very competitive lease price.
My wife and I decided to purchase the vehicle late on Friday afternoon. My new vehicle was delivered directly to my home on the following Tuesday afternoon. No showroom sales pressure, no finance manager warranty gimmicks, no costly add-ons that I did not request, just the vehicle I wanted at a fantastic price. What more could you ask for. I plan on referring everyone I know to Authority Auto, the experience was that good.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Authority Auto for the great experience I had in using your services. This was the 1st time I ever had a good experience in purchasing a car. I was especially impressed at the amount of time Kim took to answer all of my questions (and I had a lot!). I have to admit that I was skeptical of anything having to do with the car buying process, but Authority Auto exceeded all of my expectations!
The best part for me was not having to deal with all of the games at the dealerships and waste time driving around the city to try and negotiate the best deal. On top of that, I got an outstanding price on my new car. I walked into the dealership, test drove the new car, signed a few papers and was gone. I rolled my eyes when I saw a Closer going to work on a couple who was negotiating a deal and was thankful that Authority Auto handled everything for me.
I have already referred a family member who used Authority Auto and I will NEVER purchase a vehicle again without using your service.

Kim,
I've needed a new car for a while now, but I've been hesitant to get
one mostly because I don't enjoy the back and forth negotiations that
go on when trying to purchase a vehicle at a fair price. That all
changed when I first heard about Authority Auto on the radio. And
then I learned about the fantastic incentives Mazda was offering on a
vehicle I was interested in. I was back in the hunt! We had my
consultation last Friday. You located my vehicle on Tuesday. And
this Friday I'm the very proud owner of a new MAZDA3. I was under a
time constraint in order to take advantage of the financial offers,
and your quick response to my request is greatly appreciated. Not to
mention the great deal you were able to get on the exact configuration
I was looking for. You also readily addressed any concerns I had.
And once the deal was made, taking care of the transaction at the
dealership was very smooth and hassle-free. I also like how you
followed up to make sure things went well. It's been a first-class
experience all the way! I will definitely be talking with you and
Authority Auto the next time I'm in the market -- which will most
likely be sooner rather than later thanks to an awesome transaction.
Thanks again for all your help.

Dear Oren,
I wanted to thank you again for your help in finding us a great new 2008 Toyota Highlander at a great price. I have already highly recommended your service to my friends, family and co-workers. When our family car, a 2001 Subaru Outback, suddenly and unexpectedly died, I called and told Kim that I needed a car within a day. He said he'd call me within 3 hours, and sure enough, within that time he had negotiated a great price on a perfect car within 30 miles, and had even managed to get a good price for my nearly undriveable trade-in. All that, and I had no wasted time or aggravation haggling with a salesman. Even including your fee, I still saved money by getting much better prices on the purchase, trade-in and extended warranty than I would have been able to negotiate on my own. Using your service is a no-brainer. I wish you all the best and continued success.
Sincerely,
Brad G.

I only had 3 days to buy a car and felt very overwhelmed. The thought of trying to negotiate a fair price for a car made me anxious. My father told me about Authority Auto since he had recently used their services when helping my brother buy his new car. Once I had decided on which car I wanted I called Authority Auto with the information they needed for the car and gave them the dealership number. Within a few hours he called me back with a final price and monthly payment amount. I could not believe how easy it was. I not only saved a lot of time but Authority Auto saved me about $2,500.00 as well. All I had to do was drive to the dealership, sign the purchase and sale and was able to drive my new Acura TSX home that same day. Thanks Authority Auto for making my new car purchase an enjoyable and stress free experience.

It was a pleasure working with Authority Auto from beginning to end. I had already done some of the shopping myself in Colorado. Yet I didn't know whether I could get the same deal in California, where the purchase would be much more convenient for me. Like many women, I'm a busy parent and professional, so convenience really mattered. Not only did Authority Auto save me over $1,400.00 above his fee, but the car was delivered to my door! No haggling, and no surprises. It was so much fun, I wish I didn't have to wait another few years to buy a new car!

While visiting the "edmunds.com" site and doing my research on car buying, I read an article titled "Should You Use a Car-Buying Concierge?". After reading the article and the customer testamonials, I was convinced this was the way to go. No slogging from dealer to dealer, haggling, negotiating, and all the other unpleasant things that go along with purchasing a new car. I put in a call to Authority Auto Car Buying Specialists and never looked back. I got exactly the car I wanted, saved some money, and had the car (accompanied by a full explanation on use & maitenance) and the papers delivered to my door!

A fantastic experience all around. If you dislike haggling as much as I do, you'll truly enjoy and benefit from what Authority Auto does. They got me the car I wanted for far less than I ever expected. A painless process. Highly recommended.

Authority Auto rocks! You saved me several thousand dollars on my new car, but more importantly you made the experience vastly different than my last car purchase. Gone was the waiting in the cubicle for the sales manager to come to give his high pressure spiel, the endless BS about how I should be grateful and trust him to give me the best deal, and how I had to buy today or he couldn't give me a price, etc. Instead, I got a highly professional team who were attentive to my needs, my questions, and had my interest as their number one priority. I felt taken care of from start to finish.
Above all I really appreciated your responsiveness. Calls to you and Serge were returned often within minutes, you were always available - even on weekends and off-times, and you kept me in the loop regarding every twist and turn of negotiations with not one but several dealerships. We eventually came in with a deal that was exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be more pleased.

Car buying is an onerous task, but using your car-buying service makes it almost easy. I just told you what I wanted, you found the car, negotiated a good price, and I picked it up! All done! No weasely, slimey car salesman to deal with, no wasted time while they "go talk to the manager", no bait and switch, no sudden added costs at the end of the negotiation, no feeling that I was being taken for a sucker. I would not hesitate to recommend Authority Auto to my family and friends and I have done so. I look forward to using your service again.

Car Purchase: Mini Cooper S Convertible |
Oren, what a pleasant experience!! When I realized I needed to purchase a car for my use in Florida, from my home in Colorado, over the Christmas Holidays, I felt I was facing a seemingly daunting task. Especially since I was looking for a popular model, the Mini Cooper S Convertible, with many features. I was dubious at best that you could assist me when I first called. However, from the very beginning, you were professional, positive, up-front with your fees and informative about my chances. It was a very nice surprise to get your call indicating you found the right car and at a price that was significantly less than I expected. And, subsequently, all aspects of the transaction, which you assisted with each one along the way, went quickly and smoothly. This buying experience could not have been more satisfying or enjoyable. Thanks for all of your help.

It was a pleasure doing business
with you all. Here's a testimonial
and picture, feel free to use for
promotion of your excellent service.
I've been in Afghanistan for a
few years now and wanted to buy my
wife
a new car to show my appreciation
for her support and sacrifice.
Question was how to go about getting
the best deal and be able to pick
it up quickly during my next R&R.
While searching for information on
the new car of her choice I ran
across an article about Authority Auto.
Sounded too good to be true, someone
would work for me to find the car
my wife wanted and negotiate
everything to ensure I get the best
deal.
I gave Authority Auto a call while still
in Afghanistan and within minutes
they were on the job. In a couple of
days I called back and Authority Auto
had a range of choices and deals for
me. We discussed them all,
looked at the dealers web sites
together and chose the car my wife
wanted. Authority Auto called the dealer
and negotiated a price at just
below invoice and got me $1,000 more
on my trade-in than anyone else
was offering. A week later I
returned to the US, went to the
showroom
and within an hour drove away in a
great car at a great price.
Authority Auto was with me all along and
followed-up with the dealer to
make sure everything was taken care
of to my satisfaction.
I bought my last car from the
dealership my brother worked at and
got
the car at $200 over invoice, sorry
bro, I'm buying through Authority Auto
from now on. Car buying can't get
any easier. All my buddies in
Afghanistan who are planning on
buying a car will be using Authority Auto
too.
Thanks Authority Auto from both my
wife and me!

My experience with Authority Auto Car
Buying Service was fantastic from
start to finish. I didn't want to
spend any time haggling with
dealers, trying to hunt down cars
and get offers from several places,
so I put my feet up and let Oren do
all the work. That was the smartest
decision about cars that I've made
in a long time. He found me the
perfect car - the sticker price was
$5,000 more expensive than my
previous car, but remarkably, the
lease I got was only $20 more per
month - plus that included 15K miles
per year instead of 12K! The car was
delivered to me at my office, and it
took less than 10 minutes to handle
the paperwork. The salesman who
delivered the car made a special
point of telling me how much he
enjoyed working with Oren, as
compared to the other brokers he'd
dealt with in the past. It's great
to do business with a solid, ethical
company that not only makes a good
deal for me, but treats everyone
they interact with in the same
manner.

"This is the second time I've used Authority Auto and my experience this time around was just as fantastic as the first. I was able to inquire about five or six different cars I was interested in, have Authority Auto do all the legwork to find out the bottom line price on each one, and then make my decision based on the information they gave me. To have done all of that myself would have taken a trip to each dealership followed by a protracted, and likely frustrating, negotiation with pushy salesmen and, of course, their even-pushier managers. When you buy with Authority Auto, you never have that fear that you could have gotten a better deal, nor do you leave the dealership with that bitter, post-negotiation taste in your mouth that tends to sour both your purchase, and how you feel about your new car going forward. Instead, Authority Auto takes care of everything, from the financing paperwork to the final purchase or lease documents, they make sure there are never any surprises, ever. All you do is show up at the dealership, receive a warm reception from the sales staff, sign your documents, and drive off happy. Authority Auto is worth every penny and then some. I'll never buy a car without them again."

"I have to say the best thing about Authority Auto is their staff. From the first minute I felt completely comfortable dealing with them. They were 100% upfront and honest right off the bat about my situation and what we could do to remedy it. The convenience and efficiency in which the company operates is just the icing on the cake. After schlepping all up and down Keyes on Van Nuys 2 weekends in a row, I handed over my problem (my old car) and within 3 days I was driving a new one, at a price a few thousand dollars less than what I had been initially hoping to pay.
I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone and have already to everyone that has asked me about my new car. As a female, not having to deal with the dealerships was a huge relief. I also felt comfortable asking any and all questions no matter how "stupid" they would seem to a car expert. Every last detail was handled with speed and care. Nothing went unnoticed by Oren and everything was done to make my life as easy as possible; so that I might actually ENJOY the experience of getting a new car rather than feel like throwing up."
Thanks guys for all your help! I meant every word of that!

"Thank you for making the testing and buying of my new car so much fun... I would not buy a car without your assistance again."
Dear Authority Auto,
Thank you for making the testing and buying of my new car so much fun.
I named the models you set up the test drives and when I got to the dealers, they were waiting for me with the keys. Then, your knowledge, contacts and negotiating skills insured that I got the price I wanted. Thank you also for checking each detail on the lease with me. As a financial services provider myself, I know that the devil is in the details of a good deal. Your sure hand through the process gave me a sense of comfort and a great result.
I would not buy a car without your assistance again. I mean that. For what you charge, itās a no-brainer. The experience and dedication to personal service you bring to the table is an example to anyone in the sales and service arena.
I wish you the very best as you grow you business and you can definitely count on me to refer you to everyone I know.

"saved me $3000 on the transaction... I will never shop for a car any other way."
The best $600 I ever spent! Before I met Authority Auto, I hated buying cars. No how matter much I educated myself prior to visiting a dealership, I always felt cheated... even after spending hours (literally) going back and forth with the salesmen. Not this time. Once I found the car I wanted, Authority Auto used their expertise to negotiate with the dealer for me. Not only did they save me the hassle and stress of haggling with the dealer, they saved me $3000 on the transaction.... and had the car delivered to my house! It was almost as easy as ordering a pizza! Now I love buying cars! I will never shop for a car any other way.

I originally received quite a few recommendations for car brokers/agents and when I called Authority Auto I felt very comfortable with how clearly they described their process and their overall demeanor, enough that I opted to use Authority Auto for my car lease. They worked very hard to find the exact car with the packages I wanted for a great lease deal. They arranged for several test drives. When we made the deal on the car it was also delivered to my home and the paperwork was taken care of in my dining room in a matter of minutes. In the end the car came in under invoice, with a great money factor and very little drive-off and the whole leasing process was as painless as possible. Throughout the process Authority Auto's staff was incredibly pleasant and professional to work with. I couldnāt be more pleased with the entire process and Iām extremely happy with my new car! Since getting the car Iāve referred about a dozen people to them and will shortly be using them for a second car.

"Working with Authority Auto was simply the most hassle-free, pleasant car buying experience Iāve ever had. It took less than 5 days from the time I contacted Authority Auto to complete my transaction. They delivered the exact car (Lexus 400h) I wanted right to my driveway and drove away my used car at a fair trade-in price. And they coordinated getting an integrated iPod into my new car before it was delivered to my house. It doesnāt get more convenient than that! Plus every time I had a question, the team at Authority Auto was available to answer my questions. I would highly recommend Authority Auto to anybody looking to get a great and trustworthy deal on their next car!"

I want to express my satisfaction regarding the car buying experience of the Lexus 600HL .
You not only found the car I wanted that was almost impossible to find, but you also made the buying process almost painless.
Your advice regarding buying versus leasing was enlightening and after considering the good and the bad I decided to lease. Your overseeing the lease agreement with the dealer was valuable as it gave me an outside expert opinion on the lease.
Your arranging for the resale of my Mercedes eliminated one annoying step that I would have needed to do.
In short; you made car buying a pleasure instead of one where I would have needed to haggle with car dealers and waste my time.
I will be pleased to recommend you to my friends that may desire to purchase a new car.

"huge kudos to you for simultaneously selling my two other cars that clogged our driveway."
December 4, 2006
Dear Authority Auto:
Just a note to say thanks for being my 'car-knight in shining armor'. Working with you was a breeze - I know I would never have had the patience nor tenacity to search pretty much all of America to find my dream car with the exact options I wanted. No compromises, no stones unturned, you really pulled off a coup. Thanks for negotiating the price with authorityŠyou are the authority. It was well worth it. I love my white Range, and the door-to-door delivery was so welcomed during this busy Christmas time.
Finally, huge kudos to you for simultaneously selling my two other cars that clogged our driveway. That was the biggest no-hassle blessing you brought me.
Call you again, in a few years!

| Car Purchase: 2007 Lexus IS350 |
"Oren found the car I wanted at a fantastic price"
In October 2006, Authority Auto helped me purchase a new 2007 Lexus IS350. There were many things that I liked about working with Authority Auto; here are just a few:
- Alignment of Interests - Authority Auto's only interest was in getting me the best deal. Other auto brokers get paid either from the dealer or under contracts that would have forced me to purchase a car at a defined price. With Authority Auto, my interests and theirs were the same interest.
- No pressure - Brokers (be they stock brokers, real estate brokers, or auto brokers) arguably have the incentive to close any deal as fast as possible. Despite this incentive, however, Authority Auto understood that this is a referral business, and that happy customers will bring them future business. They were happy to work at my pace, and wasn't happy until I was happy.
- Resourcefulness - Ironically, Authority Auto found the best deal at my local dealer, not one hundreds of miles away, though he researched many other dealers as well.
- Negotiating Skill - Authority Auto found the car I wanted at a fantastic price, and set up an appointment for me to go in and view the vehicle. Unfortunately, when I arrived, they made me wait for 20 minutes before they told me that the car I was waiting to see had just been sold. For this 20 minute inconvenience, Authority Auto was able to squeeze the dealer for an additional $1000 on the trade in. Add that to what he saved me off the sticker price (about 11%), and itās obvious that they added a huge amount of value to the transaction.
Authority Auto found me a far better deal than I could find for myself, and he saved me a lot of both time and money. They are professional, courteous, diligent, and responsible. I would use them again without hesitation.

"...not only did he save me an additional $1,500 from the dealer's "absolute" lowest price, my car came fully loaded!"
I wanted to get a new car and had visited several dealers. I decided on an Audi and the salesman was telling me that I got a great deal and that he really "crunched the numbers" and got the price as low as he could go. Before I made a decision to buy, I knew of Authority Auto. They had years of experience as a top salesman, manager and general sales manager and knew all the inner workings of auto sales. Authority Auto works independently from the dealership. They were like my personal auto consultants. Needless to say, not only did they save me an additional $1,500 from the dealer's "absolute" lowest price, my car came fully loaded! He takes all the guess work out of knowing if you are getting the best deal or not. It is a service that is simple, efficient and cost effective. I highly recommend them.

Car Purchase: Toyota Sienna
|
"Why should we have to pay more money when a better deal is just a phone call away?"
We were just a few hours away from purchasing our 2006 Toyota Sienna, when we contacted Authority Auto just to make sure we were getting the best deal.
I had spent months researching the subject and contacting dealerships through the internet. I had a thick file folder of information and a list of prices from at least ten dealerships. Based on pricing information I got from some independent internet sources, I knew I was getting a great deal.
I was even happy with the price I had negotiated on my own. After talking with Authority Auto, they told me what I already knew which was that we were getting a great deal...but maybe they could do better. Well, within an hour they called me back to report that they had negotiated a better deal that saved us $600 [savings after authority fee]. Furthermore, I had been told by other sales people that the color we wanted was not available in all of Southern California and that we would have to wait 2-3 weeks for the car. Authority Auto not only beat that great price, but they got us the exact car we wanted that day. We were so happy we contacted Authority Auto because why should we have to pay more money when a better deal is just a phone call away. With two small kids, the money we saved will be put to good use.
Thank you Authority Auto!

The dealership showed me how to work everything on my new car and I drove out of there with the best feeling. I will always use Authority Auto for any car I buy.

When I went to purchase my newest vehicle, I was hesitant to buy. In the past I had taken whatever deal was presented to me, never knowledgeable enough to negotiate my "best" deal.
When making my most recent purchase of a 2007 Tahoe that had just been released to the public, I was quoted three prices that ranged from $52000-$55000. These quotes seemed extremely overpriced, perhaps putting this car out of my league. I discussed my experience with a friend who then referred me to Authority.
Authority Auto spoke with both the sales and finance managers and negotiated a price that was within my budget. Without Authority Auto, I would have gone without the car I really wanted.
Not only did Authority Auto find me the right people with whom I should buy from, but also found a dealership that would make me an offer I could not refuse.
It will be my pleasure to work with Authority Auto again! Without hesitation I will refer Authority Auto to friends and family looking to purchase or lease a vehicle.

"got the factory navigation system for free"
Oren, thank you so much for the great deal! You found me the exact car I wanted when my dealership told me that it wasn't available. You got me so much more for my trade-in than my dealership offered me and your deal was so good that I basically got the factory navigation system for free( a $2100 dollar option). I will never lease a car without calling Authority Auto first.

very happy!
Dear Authority Auto, I wanted to thank you for helping me, yet once again, with the purchase of my new car. I was very proud of myself when I called you to tell you the deal that I had worked out with the salesperson. Well, my enthusiasm was short lived..... 30 minutes later and several conversations with the manager of the Mercedes dealership, you had saved me almost $100/month on my new lease...and you had the manager also include in the price my beautiful burl walnut steering wheel. Thank you very much. I think of you each month when I have to pay my lease payment. By the end of the year, your savings will equal to half of my yearly car insurance payment. Kindest regards,

Dear Authority Auto, Once again you have done more then was asked. During the past 5years you have saved me thousands of dollars in the leasing as well as purchase of my cars. Starting with my BMW 5 series to my two Lexus GS series and now for my wifeās Range Rover. You are always professional, courteous and more importantly trust worthy. You truly make the experience of purchasing a new car very pleasant. Thanks for all your help.

Hello,
I am very skeptical of car dealerships. I have never felt comfortable with the service and deals I have received when I have negotiated on my own.
Authority Auto made the process easy and I got a great deal on my BMW. I went to the dealer and I was totally amazed! Not only did I find and get the exact car I have been wanting and needing, I was treated better than I had ever been in ANY retail environment. I saved a lot.

| I originally received quite a few recommendations for car brokers/agents and when I called Authority Auto I felt very comfortable with how clearly they described their process and their overall demeanor ... |
