I spent nearly a decade inside Fraser Valley and South Surrey dealerships, from the sales floor in Abbotsford to the finance office in South Surrey. I know how a deal is built here and who builds it. ClearCut Auto Inc. is a licensed, fee-only broker based in South Surrey: I find the vehicle, negotiate the price and, on the managed packages, handle the dealership in person. If you are buying in Surrey, White Rock, Delta or Langley, I am a short drive from every store you would otherwise be walking into.
A car buyer's broker represents the buyer, not the dealership. In British Columbia that is a licensed activity: the broker-agent works for the person buying the vehicle, sources and negotiates on their behalf, and takes no payment from the selling side.
ClearCut Auto Inc. holds VSA Broker-Agent Licence B70016 and is fee-only. You pay a flat fee, from $250 to $5,000 plus GST depending on the package; no dealership or lender pays ClearCut anything. The licence covers all of British Columbia. Surrey is home.
Four things about buying here that most people never get to take advantage of on their own.
Between the King George Boulevard corridor, the Langley Bypass next door and the Delta and Richmond stores across the river, most brands have several franchised dealerships within a short drive of each other. Same vehicle, several sellers.
Advertised price, freight and PDI, documentation fees and pre-installed add-ons vary between stores selling the identical vehicle. Taking one specification to multiple stores and comparing the all-in number is most of what negotiation is.
For ClearCut Concierge and ClearCut Reserve I attend in person: the finance office, the products, the paperwork. Being local means that is routine, not an event. Advisory packages are by phone, text or email, whichever suits you.
GST applies to every vehicle purchase, BC PST climbs with the vehicle price, and a federal luxury tax may apply above the federal threshold. Every price in our free tools is shown all-in for BC so you can compare real numbers before you talk to anyone.
We review the price and deal structure you have been offered, check the financing terms and any add-ons, and give you a clear summary of anything to fix before you sign.
