Hiring a buyer is certainly a legitimate way to buy a car. It's what I do for a living; buy cars on a custom-order basis for my clients, and provide an extended warranty if needed. It's totally dependent on the buyer, though, so you have to investigate them carefully. How do they inspect the car pre-purchase? Can they provide tons of independent references? What recourse do they have if there is a problem with the car they buy? What recourse do YOU have if they buy a car and it's not what you requested in some respect?
How much do they charge? The biggest thing I see is people that are buyers, not specific to any make/model/class of car, buying semi-exotics and highline cars. I get lots of complaints after-the-fact from someone that hired a buyer that buys $5K cars at auction, paid a $500 fee because 'it was a great deal', and then wound up with a car that had, as its primary inspection, a Carfax! Proceed with caution.
If you'd like to know more about how I work, email me at
[email protected]. I've delivered M-cars, MB AMG cars, Audi S-cars, Jaguar R-cars, Porsche, Ferrari, and more. I'm a high-end buyer, so I know how to look at a high-end car as its potential owner will, and then some.
