What to expect from your Autobytel.com experience:
The Autobytel.com process is designed to make car buying more convenient and less stressful than ever before.

After you've submitted your Purchase Request to us, here's what you can expect to happen next:

You will receive, via e-mail, a note confirming that your Purchase Request has been received.

In this confirmation, we will give you the name and phone number of the Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealer who has received and will process your Purchase Request.

This Subscribing Dealer will contact you within 48 hours of receiving your Purchase Request.

Your Subscribing Dealer will commit to sell/lease at the price quoted to you over the phone -- no tricks or "bait and switch"!

We think this competitive price, coupled with Autobytel.com's no-hassle program, will provide you with the most enjoyable car-buying experience you've ever had.

Be an Educated Buyer
Our Subscribing Dealers are dedicated to giving you competitive prices and professional service, but how can you appreciate the value they provide unless you educate yourself?

We STRONGLY recommend that you "do your homework" and learn as much as you can about the vehicle you want to buy BEFORE you make a request to Autobytel.com. Use the available resources on the Internet and online services, along with unbiased magazines like Consumer Reports. We even encourage you to shop your local car dealers and compare the level of service and pricing they provide with Autobytel.com's Subscribing Dealers. You will then appreciate the convenience and honesty of the Autobytel.com Program.

Do Your Homework
The more details you have about your vehicle choice, the better our system will work. The Autobytel.com Purchase Request form is very general, but we can process even the most specific request. Whether you know that you want that new Mustang GT in black, or Black Metallic Gloss, we can help you!

Use the comments section at the bottom of the form to get as specific as you like about the features you want. If you know the manufacturer's option packages, type them in. They are not necessary for Autobytel.com to process your request, but they will make it easier for our Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealer to properly equip the vehicle you want.

Additionally, we provide links to vehicle information sources to help you learn as much as you can as you make your purchase decision.

Autobytel.com Can Not Accept Multiple Requests
We understand that getting a new vehicle is a very large purchase -- not one to be taken lightly.

When we receive a Purchase Request from you, we assume that you intend to buy or lease that vehicle in the near future. The Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealer who receives your request also assumes you are serious about making a purchase decision and will quote an aggressive price over the phone. Our Subscribing Dealers put in the extra time and effort to exceed your high expectations of the Autobytel.com Program, so we ask you not to burden them with multiple Purchase Requests.

If you want to inquire about purchasing more than one vehicle, please contact us via e-mail at manager@autobytel.com.

Be Ready to Buy
Our Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealers are committed to giving you very competitive prices. The price you receive from an Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealer has been computed especially for you, with the options and special features you have identified. Your dealer cannot guarantee the vehicle you have requested can be held in inventory for more than a few days after you have received a price quote.

Because of this, we recommend you send us a Purchase/Lease Request ONLY if you are serious about making a purchase within the very near future. That way, the price you're quoted by an Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealer will be the most accurate possible.

Market Conditions Affect Price
Unusual market conditions (production delays, short supply, etc.) make certain vehicles difficult to discount, even for Autobytel.com customers.

When your Autobytel.com Subscribing Dealer contacts you, rest assured that you are working with a top-quality individual in a licensed, professional dealership near you. Building a relationship with this individual will also work in your favor if you need service, after-market parts or other items for your vehicle. All sales are made through licensed, franchised dealers who subscribe to Autobytel.com.
