Before you accept any offer, start with a $249 FMYCAR Seller Strategy Session.

Read them; we publish plenty free ourselves. Most free car-buying content is written to rank in search, by people who have never sat on the dealership side of the desk. The Hub is the working playbook: checklists, the exact words to use, and worked examples with real numbers, organized by your situation instead of by keyword. A free article says “negotiate the out-the-door price.” The Hub shows you the worksheet, which lines move, and the email that gets the number in writing.

As long as it is useful, and you cancel in one click. Most people need one or two months: the month they are shopping and the month they are signing. Join, follow the reading path for your situation, buy the car, cancel. Policy: Hub members get $49 off a Deal Review in their first 60 days, so a month of Hub plus a review costs the same as the review alone.

Both, and those are the two groups we wrote dedicated reading paths for. First-time buyers get budget, pre-approval, the first dealership visit step by step, and co-signers done safely. Seniors and the families helping a parent get the features that matter, trading a long-owned car, titles and power of attorney, and how to slow a store down politely. Plain language throughout. The “Helping a parent” path is three guides and a checklist a daughter can send her father the night before the visit.

A broker can, and some are very good. The difference is who pays them. Most brokers are paid by the dealer when the sale closes, which means they need the deal to close, at a particular store. FMYCAR is paid only by you, does not sell cars, and is fine with you walking away. Ask any broker: “Do you receive anything from the dealer when I buy?” Our answer is no, in writing.

No. No referral fee, no spiff, no share of the finance office. Dealers on cars.fmycar.com publish their inventory through software our founder built; they pay for that software, not for shoppers, and we never steer you to a store because of it. The fee you pay up front is our only revenue from your deal. You can buy from any dealership in the country and our advice does not change.

Then you don’t buy. Sometimes the honest answer is keep the car, wait a model year, or fix the credit first, and we have told clients exactly that. The discovery call tells us whether we can help; if we can’t, we say so and refund you. If you finish the process and decide to wait, you keep the research, the numbers and the plan for when you are ready. Example: a client’s trade was $4,000 upside down. The recommendation was to keep paying it down for eight months, not roll it into a new loan.

The goal is to protect your equity and time. Sometimes that means negotiating better; sometimes it means choosing a different selling path altogether. Even one improved offer or one avoided mistake can cover the cost of the call.

That’s a great time to book. Your advisor can help you decide where to get offers, how to present the vehicle, and what numbers to watch for before you send photos or VINs to anyone.

That’s up to you. Some people mention it because it signals that someone is reviewing the numbers. Others keep it quiet. Either way, our focus is keeping you informed and confident.

This session is education and strategy; you keep control of where and how you sell. FMYCAR also runs a marketplace of cars from local dealerships at cars.fmycar.com, and in some states may facilitate introductions or broker support, always with your interests first.

Right after you pick your time, by secure card checkout (Stripe). It covers your advisor’s time, the prep work on your vehicle and situation, and the follow-up materials summarizing your plan.

If you need to reschedule, your advisor will work with you on a new time. For cancellations, standard FMYCAR cancellation terms apply and are shared in your confirmation.
