Re: Indpt Auto Brokers BTDT? (minOOOO)

There are many reasons for cars to be FS through a broker, rather than PO or
dealer.  Most brokers worth their salt, will save you money and PIA over
going to the dealer.  Many non-auto people prefer not to hassle with the
usual buying/selling process.  They don't want to have to answer countless
phone calls, bring unknown individuals to their home, etc.,etc.
As with any vehicle purchase, you should have the vehicle checked out by a
knowledgeable, trustworhy mechanic.  There are even companies that offer
vehicle inspection services.  A good broker should be more than happy to let
you have someone take a look at any vehicle you're considering.
