Trading In to a Dealership

You lose: $3,000 - $8,000

Dealerships need to make a profit when they resell. You get far less than private party value.

You lose: $2,000 - $5,000

These companies buy low and sell high. You're leaving thousands on the table.

Risky Parking Lot Deal

You risk: EVERYTHING

  • • $1.3B lost to scams annually
  • • 25% have title issues
  • • 40% report fraud attempts

AutoBridge Transaction

You pay: $1,550

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I negotiate the fee?

The fee is set by the authorized dealership. However, how you split it between buyer and seller is entirely negotiable.

Are there any additional costs?

The $1,550 covers our transaction services. Standard government fees (DMV, title transfer, registration) still apply as they would in any vehicle sale. If the buyer chooses financing, warranty, or GAP insurance, those are separate optional purchases.

What if I only need help with paperwork?

Our service is comprehensive. We don't offer "à la carte" options because every element works together to ensure a safe, legal transaction.

Is this cheaper than using a dealership to buy?

Absolutely! Dealerships mark up vehicles $3,000-$8,000 over what they paid. Our $1,550 fee lets you keep private party pricing while getting dealership-level security and services.

Do you offer payment plans for the fee?

The fee is due at the time of transaction. If the buyer is financing the vehicle purchase, some lenders may allow rolling the fee into the loan. Ask your dealer.
