Everything you'd want to know before starting your search.
Sold By Summer Auto has two one-time services. Deal Representation is $1,000 for one specific vehicle transaction: buying a vehicle you've already identified, or selling your current vehicle to the strongest market. Full Concierge is $1,500 for clients who want a fully managed acquisition, including sourcing, multiple options, trade-in management, negotiation, and delivery. Collector and exotic acquisitions begin at $2,500 and are quoted individually, and Private Client membership is by application, from $10,000 annually. If you'd like your delivery to be a celebration, Signature Delivery Experiences are available as packages that include Full Concierge.
No. Sourcing, negotiation, and paperwork coordination are handled on your behalf. If you're local, or you'd rather see the vehicle in person first, you show up once, to sign and drive. If it's an out-of-state deal and you're not picking it up yourself, delivery is coordinated straight to your door instead.
Your fee is due at booking. You have 24 hours from booking to change your mind for a full refund, as long as I haven't yet begun work on your search or transaction. Once work begins, your fee is non-refundable and I get to work.
For Full Concierge clients, your search stays active until I find your vehicle, so we can adjust timing or keep evaluating options within your original engagement. Deal Representation covers one specific vehicle transaction. If your plans change and you later need a new vehicle search, Full Concierge would be the appropriate service. Financing approval is determined by the lender and cannot be guaranteed by Sold By Summer Auto.
Tell me and we'll adjust. A change to a different make or model means restarting sourcing on the new vehicle, which extends the timeline. I'll always tell you upfront what that means for your search.
No. You buy from the dealership or seller, and I represent you in the transaction. I don't sell vehicles and I'm not paid by any dealership.
Yes. A trade-in toward your purchase is part of Full Concierge, including trade valuation, payoff review, and structuring the purchase and trade together. If you'd rather sell separately, Deal Representation can cover selling one vehicle: I take it to market, shop it among dealerships and qualified buyers, compare the offers, and negotiate for the strongest one. Buying one vehicle and selling another is a Full Concierge engagement.
You'll receive a private intake link to share your preferences, budget, and priorities, and I get started. Full Concierge clients also receive 30 days of support after purchase.
Whatever's easiest for you: phone, text, or email. There's no requirement to get on a call if you'd rather not.
No. I work across makes and price points. The concierge-level service is the same regardless of what you're driving away in.
I review and compare financing terms as part of your service, but I'm not a lender and don't approve or guarantee financing. Approval, rates, and final terms are decided directly by the lender or dealership.
Yes. Sourcing is nationwide, and delivery can be arranged anywhere in the US.
