Strategic Research & Procurement
The Ask: A Charlotte-area client needed a reliable used car under $20,000, with under 100,000 miles, four doors, good gas mileage, and financing that worked with a $2,000 down payment — plus a few personal must-haves like a CD player and a model recent enough to double as a rideshare vehicle.
The Work: DJ built a side-by-side comparison of well-regarded models — evaluating fuel economy, IIHS safety ratings, known problem years to avoid, realistic mileage lifespan, best model years to target, and real price ranges — so he had a clear framework for spotting a smart buy wherever it turned up.
The Result: He drove away in a 2021 Honda HR-V with 68,000 miles, a 1.8L engine, CVT transmission — and yes, a CD player.
"She was able to compile a list of vehicles and dealers that helped me expand my search options and make a more informed decision than I would have otherwise... I believe I can take what I learned into the next car search as well." — Daniel
