TESTIMONIALS
Very excited to share that my experience was excellent. I worked with Jerry and he was able to help me narrow down the correct car, find me a fantastic deal significantly lower than multiple offers I had received, and answer indefinite questions I had as a first time car buyer. If you’re on the fence about using this service, consider a few questions:
Do you have a consistent network of dealerships and leverage? sharp negotiating skills? A professional understanding of the car market economy/current pricing? The time or energy to make over a dozen calls? The desire to talk to dealerships with a new trick at every corner… if you don’t have these questions sorted, then give my guy Jerry a call. He has decades of experience and was very pleasant to work with. Best of luck to your car search, I hope it’s as quick and painless as mine was.

Jerry was an incredible asset to our family. Buying a car can be an incredibly stressful process and he made sure it was as easy as possible. He handled finding our family the car we wanted, negotiating a competitive price and ensuring a smooth transition with the dealership. Thanks so much Jerry! We love our new car and we can't thank you enough for your help.

Jerry found exactly what I was looking for and more. He got almost all possible addons for the price I was comfortable with which was a huge surprise. They whole process was super-fast and efficient. All I had to do was go to dealer, sign and drive away.

Working with Jerry on my car buying purchase was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His professionalism and responsiveness made me feel supported throughout the entire process. Jerry's communication skills were top-notch, always keeping me in the loop and responding promptly to any inquiries or concerns I had. His responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile made me feel like a valued client. Jerry was more than just a salesperson; he was a fantastic partner during this significant decision, making the experience seamless and stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend his services to anyone looking to make their car buying journey an enjoyable one. Do it!

Jerry is the man! He was so helpful, kind, and communicative. He took all the stress out of the car buying process and found the exact Jeep Wrangler I wanted at an amazing price. He even went above and beyond and helped me figure out how to ship my new Jeep to my house (since I bought it out of state). Can't say enough great things about Jerry!

Jerry helped me purchase a car while I was out of the country traveling on vacation. By the time I returned not only was the car I specified was waiting for me to pick it up but he got me a great deal on a Lexus GX 460 but also a fantastic trade in for my used Pathfinder. I couldn't be happier with his service, professionalism, and humor. It was a completely painless experience buying a new car.

Hiring Jerry as my broker was a smart decision as his services are worth every penny. Jerry got me a brand new 2024 Lexus, but priced as if it had been sitting on the lot for quite some time.
In all, Jerry was able to get me about $6k in oem+dealer discounts. Jerry has incredible strategy and negotiation skills. I know I was in good hands. He definitely fought to get me the best price possible. He kept in constant communication with me, answered all my questions, and explained anything I was unsure of.
Even when there was a discrepancy in the F&I office, Jerry came through and was able to get the dealership to correct their errors, making sure they upheld their end of the deal. Working with him was a smooth process from start to finish. He’s incredibly professional and honestly just a cool, great guy. I cannot thank him enough! You NEED Jerry in your corner on your next car purchase or lease!

I cannot recommend this service high enough. My wife and I had been interested in getting a new BMW X5. This was a huge purchase for us. We were intimidated by the entire negotiation process, did not want to pay too much and wanted to lease. We also had a trade to deal with. We reached out to Intelligent Car Buying, they located the car for us, negotiated an 8% discount from MSRP and calculated and negotiated the entire lease transaction for us before we even went into the dealership. The dealer had no idea how we were so armed with the buy rate on their money factor, residual, and invoice on the new car. They also provided us with current auction/wholesale reports so we could leverage the dealer to pay us top dollar for our trade and we walked away with a big check. Communication over the few days was frequent and always pleasant. It gave me great peace of mind that I had someone with over 40 years of experience helping me buy ours. The amount of time and aggravation this saved was worth the fee alone but then he saved us thousands on top of that and top value for our trade. He called the day of delivery and coached us and prepared us for the delivery in the F&I office so they could not take advantage of me. I could tell they genuinely cared about our car purchase/lease.
We could not be happier. If you are considering using Intelligent Car Buying, do it! Hire with confidence!

I have bought and leased cars for over forty years. My father was in the car business so I am no stranger to the two-sided (wholesale/retail) deal calculations used during the negotiations of a car deal. Because of this insight into their side of the deal, I actually enjoy the negotiation process.
This past December, the lease for my Audi SQ5 was terminating so I was reluctantly in the market for a new car. I say reluctantly because it was definitely not a buyers’ market. I began the process with the presumption that I would just buy my lease vehicle because the residual on the lease was below the market value and dealer’s were demanding premiums on new SQ5’s.
Jerry was able to provide me with a wealth of data – dealer’s cost, dealer holdback, average selling price, lease rate, residual, cost of money, value of lease return vs. residual – going into this process. Normally, I do my best to research as much of this as possible but am never confident my data is 100% accurate. I knew Jerry’s data was spot-on.
Armed with this data, I was able to go to multiple dealers, tell them what I was willing to pay, knowing that it was not a deal they would like but that it was a fair offer that another dealer would be likely to take. And, that is what happened.
I got a few rejections of my offer but, eventually, those dealers started calling back when they knew I was continuing my search. I literally received a call from the dealer with the car I actually wanted as I was sitting down to sign lease papers with another dealer. They accepted my offer.
I saved over $5,000 by using Jerry’s services.
The last thing the dealer asked me as I was signing my lease papers was, “who is Jerry”? They knew they had been dealing with someone who knew what they were doing.
Don’t make the mistake of going into your next deal without arming yourself.

I worked with Jerry to purchase my 2022 Toyota Sienna. It had been almost 10 years since we were in the market to purchase a car, and the landscape for purchasing a vehicle has changed drastically. Jerry helped us navigate the significant drop in supply and increase in demand. He saved us thousands on the total cost of our Sienna and hundreds on our monthly payment. We highly recommend working with Jerry Kramer if you are in the market to purchase or lease a vehicle!

I can’t thank Jerry enough for assisting me with my new car purchase and the sale of my previous vehicle. I find the whole process overwhelming and wanted to make sure I got a fair price on both ends of the transaction. Jerry helped me get a better deal than I could’ve imagined on the exact Toyota Sienna I wanted as well as getting much more than I expected when I sold my used vehicle. It was an excellent experience overall and I can’t recommend him enough! I will definitely be using him for all vehicle purchases going forward.

Jerry made what is an entirely uncomfortable transaction (for me) seamless and pain free from our first interaction to the day I signed on the dotted line! From start to finish, the entire process was handled with care; I felt supported, cared for and I knew I was in the best of hands. By the time I was ready to leave the dealership, the team at Audi was asking me who Jerry was - he negotiated every last detail -everyone was wildly impressed! I got an incredible deal because I was armed with all of the information needed to ensure that outcome. I'm so grateful and I love my new car!
