Cartelligent FAQs
You’ve got questions. We’ve got real answers.
What services do you offer?
We meet you where you are, locate the car you want, and negotiate great terms including leasing and financing if applicable. We explain the options and empower you to make the decision that’s best for you. Your new car will be delivered to a delivery center nearest you where you will receive a personal introduction to the car. Should you have questions or need assistance after pickup, our support team is here for you. Plus, you can get a fair value for your trade-in.
How does it work?
Simply start by filing out a short form. Then, talk to an advisor so we can understand your lifestyle, preferences, budget and timeline. From there we curate the ideal options for you, tailor them, and lock in favorable terms. We handle the details – from negotiation to paperwork to delivery and aim to meet or exceed your expectations. And if you want to trade in your car, we’ll get you a real offer fast.
Why should I use Cartelligent instead of buying or leasing a car myself?
The industry was built around pressure tactics and information that keeps you guessing while making one of your biggest financial decisions. With Cartelligent, you finally have someone who knows the system inside and out, fighting for your best interest instead of theirs. We turn what should be exciting—getting the right car for your life—into something that actually feels that way.
How do I get started?
Click Get Started. You’ll be matched with an experienced advisor in no time.
What do dealers think of you?
Most dealerships appreciate how easy we make it for them to sell more cars. It is usually for a lower price then they would ideally like to sell the car for, but the time and effort for them to sell a car the Cartelligent way is much less which can make the overall transaction worth it for them in the long run.
What if you can’t find me the car I want?
We search far and wide across California to find your ideal car. If it is not in inventory, we can discuss alternate solutions such as searching for incoming cars, other states, and a factory order for your consideration so you can get the car that meets your needs.
Do you help people find used cars?
No. Our process is built to help people buy or lease new cars. We can compare the cost of a used car with a new car which in some cases over time can be very similar due to bigger discounts off the asking price, manufacturer and/or government rebates, subsidized lower interest or lease rates and little to no maintenance costs during the warranty that comes with a new car.
Can you help someone outside of California?
We can source cars throughout the country but currently take on new clients that take delivery of and will register their vehicle in the State of California.
Let us solve car buying for you.
We’ve helped tens of thousands of drivers buy smarter, stress less, and avoid hassle. Now it’s your turn.
