The problem is there's no way to prove that you're doing that and not a scammer; you're almost better off just asking someone who bought one recently what they did.

Except it’s more like a buyers agent or a doula. Someone that’s navigated the process many times to assist on behalf of a buyer. Upfront payment no commission or kickback could even put that in the contract.

I do think these people exist I’ve seen them advertise services in specialty car forums but it’s very niche.


But the buyers agent is going to work with most buyers only once. And work with dealers many times. This is hard to get the incentives right


Pre Pay the agent then the incentive is correct.


But now you need an agent to help you navigate through the market of car-buying agents!


You see it more frequently in certain luxury vehicles where the price is part of the prestige, usually to where the equation is a bit more managed, e.x. they can set base price higher and have fewer random 'tire kickers' to deal with.
