Flat-fee car finding & negotiation

You pick the car.
We win the price.

DealerDawg finds your exact right car, then negotiates the out-the-door price for you — taxes, fees, everything. One flat fee, quoted upfront. We work for you, never the dealer.

Deal SheetAny car · any state
VehicleYour exact pick
Dealer's first numberAlways too high
Junk fees & add-onsStripped out
Taxes, tags & titleYour state, exact
Out-the-doorOne final number
Every car, state and fee structure is different. The job never changes: the lowest number available to you — in writing.

Nobody likes buying a car.
So stop doing the part you hate.

The haggling, the waiting, the "let me talk to my manager" — the average dealership visit eats an entire day and still leaves money on the table. We take all of that off your plate and hand back one clean number.

Buying it yourself
Hours of back-and-forth texts and calls with multiple salespeople
A full Saturday at the dealership — most of it waiting
"Let me check with my manager," round after round
Surprise fees and add-ons appearing at the signing table
Walking out never quite sure if you got a good deal
Your time in the deal: most of it

Your time in the deal: minutes

Two ways to start

Whether you know the exact VIN or only know the feeling you want, the path ends the same way: the right car at a price you couldn't get alone.

About Us — A Father & Son Duo

Two of us. One side of the table — yours.

DealerDawg is a father and son who have been buying cars — our own, and everyone else's who was smart enough to ask — since the day we could drive ourselves. What started as a family obsession with never overpaying became a craft: knowing what a car should actually cost, and knowing exactly how to get there.

When you hire us, you're family. We act as your fiduciary — your interests are the only interests in the deal. We don't work for any dealer, we don't take dealer money, and we never will. Every dollar we fight for is yours, and every number we negotiate is shown to you in full. Always on your side. That's the whole business.

How DealerDawg works

01

Tell us the mission

Survey or listing link — either way we lock in exactly what you want, down to trim and color.

02

Approve the target

You approve the car and our flat fee before anything starts. The fee never changes mid-deal.

03

We negotiate the OTD

We put our dealer network to work for you — and hand you a signed-ready out-the-door price.

04

Signing Day Watch

At the table you photograph the paperwork before signing. We review it against your Deal Sheet in minutes and say CLEAR TO SIGN — or handle the dealer ourselves. How it works →

A signed deal — or you don't pay a dime.

Every tier is a one-time flat fee, never a cut of the deal, so our only incentive is driving your number down. And the promise is simple: we hand you a signed-ready out-the-door deal sheet on the car you approved — or your fee comes back in full. No fine print gymnastics. We deliver the deal, or we haven't earned the fee.

What a deal is worth

Our goal on every deal is savings worth multiples of our fee — factory rebates and incentives most buyers never find, junk fees and forced add-ons stripped out before you ever see paper, and the negotiation itself, run across multiple dealers at once.

Real dealRam 1500 Rebel
Sticker$64,000

What finance tried at the wire$65,000
What he actually paid$59,000
$6,000 caught after the offer was already signed.

They tried to re-price a signed deal at the wire

Sticker was $64,000. We got the dealer to $59,000 out-the-door — signed, in writing. Then he went to wire the money, and the finance department decided that $59,000 had actually been the price before taxes, tags and fees. The number came back at $65,000.

Out-the-door means everything in. That was the entire deal. We stepped in, and he paid the $59,000 we negotiated — not a dollar more.

Note the timing: after the price was agreed and the offer signed, at the last possible moment.

Winning the price is only half the deal

A black Ford Bronco Heritage, listed at $54,000. We brought it to $52,000 out-the-door with extras included. A genuinely strong deal — and then the finance office quoted him 9.3% over 72 months, with excellent credit, and could not explain why.

So we sent him to an outside lender, came back with 5.39%, and the dealer had to match it to keep the deal.

Same truck, same price, $7,070 less interest over the term. That's the money nobody argues about at the table, because it's buried in a rate instead of a price.

Both of these happened after the price was agreed. That's not a coincidence — it's where the margin gets taken back. How Signing Day Watch works →
