“The used luxury car industry operates on a cyclical basis just like the new car market,” say Harry Hindmarsh, Director of Marketing for AG Select Imports. “When the 2007′s arrive, we tend to see more used trade-ins that are cleaner, well-maintained and have more upgrades than at any other time during the year.”

Hindmarsh mentions that this time of year points out another benefit of used car buying. “Sometimes a car can technically be a full year newer than its stated year. Right now there are brand new 2006 models on lots next to the 2007s.”

When shopping for a used luxury car, Hindmarsh says that it’s more beneficial to shop by mileage rather than year only. “People often miss outstanding values because they are solely focused on the year.”

Hindmarsh says that getting the best values on used luxury cars is a science that requires factoring many variables such as mileage, model, customer reviews, origin, recalls, and as many as 22 additional factors. To assist buyers with this complicated process, the company has developed its “vehicle request” program where shoppers describe roughly or exactly what it is that they’re looking for and let the AG experts find it.

“Weighing the variables on the value of a used luxury car isn’t something that a lot of people feel comfortable with,” Hindmarsh explains. “Our buyers are highly trained and have access to some of the best dealer resources in the country.” AG has boosted its staff volume to accommodate buyers who want to track down their ideal used luxury vehicle during 2007 trade-in time.

About AG Select Imports
AG Select Imports has exceeded the standards of used luxury car buyers for more than 23 years. Headquartered in Virginia Beach VA, the company delivers quality luxury to its customers throughout the United States. AG has a passion for delivering excellence with its full service used luxury car buying solution that includes generous financing plans, front door delivery, extensive warranties, and it’s vehicle request service.

The company has already implemented numerous successful strategies that improve the process of buying a used luxury car such as a customized vehicle locator program, door to door delivery service, low interest in house financing, and solid professional warranties that meet the expectations of the luxury consumer.

“People in the luxury car market tend to buy new simply because the process of searching for and evaluating used luxury cars is more valuable than the money they would have saved,” explains Hindmarsh. “Our goal is to make used luxury car buying just as simple and just as satisfying.”

When buying new, customers may pay several thousand dollars more, but they can easily choose their exact model without having to go from dealership to dealership seeking out the car they want.

Now luxury car consumers can have both. With programs such as its vehicle locator service, busy used luxury car consumers can literally pick and choose their ideal criteria, then “go on with their life while we do the digging,” Hindmarsh says.

Once clients fill out the online form describing the exact year, make, model, and options they are looking for, professional buyers at AG use their dealership channels to scout out the ideal vehicle and examine it for quality.

With AG’s time saving and quality assurance initiatives, luxury car consumers can benefit from the cost savings of buying used with the confidence and swiftness of buying new.

“Another thing our luxury clients really enjoy is the door to door delivery service,” Hindmarsh says. “Buyers of luxury vehicles are often out of the box thinkers; they don’t want to feel limited by something as simple as physical distance.”

Every step of AG’s auto buying process from requesting a specific vehicle to applying for financing has been designed for the internet and with efficiency in mind. “But we still feel that there is more that we can do,” says Hindmarsh.

“We are challenging luxury car buyers to come up with even better ways to streamline the process as well as reduce savings. Our philosophy is to never stop growing and to constantly strive for a better way of doing things.”
