Everything you need to know about working with RPM — from how our services work to what to expect throughout the process.
RPM is a boutique automotive advisory firm. We work exclusively for our clients — not dealerships — to help you buy, sell, or source vehicles. Whether you need help finding a specific car, selling your current one for maximum value, or simply navigating a private sale, we handle every step of the process with expertise and transparency.
No. We are not affiliated with any dealership or manufacturer. We are independent advisors who work solely in your interest. This means we have no incentive to push you toward a particular vehicle or brand — our only goal is the best outcome for you.
We work with clients locally and remotely. For local clients, we can accompany you to inspections and handle in-person logistics. For remote clients, we coordinate everything digitally and can arrange vehicle transport if needed.
The easiest way is to fill out our contact form or give us a call. We'll have a brief conversation about what you're looking for — whether that's buying, selling, or something else — and outline exactly how we can help. There's no obligation and no pressure.
You tell us exactly what you want — make, model, year range, budget, must-have features, and timeline. We search our network of dealers, private sellers, and auctions to find the best options. We vet each vehicle (history report, inspection), present you with the top candidates, and negotiate the purchase on your behalf. You approve the final deal and we handle the paperwork.
We can source virtually any vehicle — from everyday commuters to high-end luxury and performance cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. If it exists in the market, we can find it. The more specific your requirements, the more targeted our search.
Yes, we charge a flat advisory fee for our buying concierge service. We'll outline this clearly before we begin — no surprises. Our fee is typically offset by the savings we negotiate on the purchase price, meaning most clients end up paying less overall than they would have on their own.
Absolutely. Private sales can offer great value, but they also carry more risk. We handle the due diligence — history report, independent inspection, title verification — and negotiate on your behalf to make sure you're protected throughout the transaction.
We can help with that too. Bring us the listing and we'll evaluate the price against current market data, arrange an inspection, and negotiate with the seller. You don't have to start from scratch to benefit from our expertise.
Start by submitting your vehicle details through our Sell Your Car form. We'll provide a free market valuation within 24 hours. If you decide to proceed, we handle everything: creating a professional listing, marketing across multiple platforms, screening buyers, negotiating offers, and managing the paperwork through to a clean title transfer.
Results vary by vehicle and market conditions, but our clients consistently sell for more than they would have on their own — often $1,000–$4,000 more. This comes from accurate pricing strategy, professional presentation, access to a wider buyer pool, and skilled negotiation.
Yes. Selling a car with an outstanding loan is more complex but very manageable. We'll coordinate with your lender to ensure the loan is paid off properly as part of the transaction and that the title transfers cleanly to the new owner.
Timeline depends on the vehicle, your asking price, and current market conditions. Most vehicles we list sell within 2–4 weeks. Pricing accurately from the start is the single biggest factor in a fast sale.
Every vehicle in our inventory is personally vetted by our team. We review the history report, inspect the vehicle, and only list cars we'd be comfortable recommending to a friend. We prioritize quality over volume — you won't find a lot of cars here, but the ones you do find have been carefully selected.
Yes. Contact us to schedule a time to see and drive any vehicle in our inventory. We'll also provide the full vehicle history report and answer any questions you have.
We can connect you with trusted lending partners who offer competitive rates. We'll help you understand your financing options so you can make an informed decision. We always recommend getting pre-approved before shopping so you know exactly what you're working with.
