How we find and verify your used Tesla.
You tell us the budget and how you drive. We search every channel in LA — private sellers included, where Carvana and CarMax don't go — vet your finalist down to the config and the paperwork, and hand you a written verdict with the number to negotiate to. You negotiate and sign; we've done the homework. One flat fee, never a percentage.
Intake calls go straight to Eugene himself — not a call centre.Flat $899 · 3 of 8 search slots left this month.Six steps, two deadlines.
First shortlist within 72 hours. Verification report within 24 hours of inspection — a clear call on each car: buy, or negotiate to a specific number.
Intake
A 15-minute call: budget, model, daily miles, home or apartment charging, FSD or not, your deadline. You accept our terms online and pay the flat $899 — nothing to sign, and that is the whole fee. Your 60-day search window starts here.
Search & shortlist
Every channel: Tesla Used, Carvana, CarMax, franchise and independent dealers, auction lanes, and private sellers. First shortlist of 3–5 cars in 72 hours, then a weekly update for the 60 days your search runs — including the weeks when the honest update is 'nothing good enough yet, here's why.'
Verification
Your finalist gets read end to end: config off the VIN, battery state of health in Service Mode, FSD transfer, hardware version, title and liens — and an independent LA inspection arranged, for a separate fee, when the car deserves one. Written report within 24 hours, ending in buy or negotiate to a specific number.
The negotiation
We prepare it: the number to hold, the defects in the report that justify it, the questions the seller hopes you skip — and we stay on call while you make it. On fixed-price platforms we audit the out-the-door total and the junk fees instead. Then you sign with the seller, on paper. The contract is between you and them; you just walk in knowing exactly what you're signing for.
Handover
You get the car and a 30–60 minute onboarding: the app, driver profiles, Supercharging and home charging, and what to do the first time something beeps at you.
After
A check-in on day 7 for the small questions, and on day 30 for the honest review. If we did the job right, you'll know someone who needs us. Referrals are how this works.
What we verify before you pay anyone anything.
A generalist inspection checks that the doors close. This is what a Tesla-only shop checks.

Questions people actually ask.
What does it cost?
A flat $899. One fee, agreed before we start, covering the whole search: sourcing, the weekly updates, the vetting of your finalist, and your negotiation prepared to a specific number. Never a percentage of the purchase price, and no balance at the finish.
What if you don't find me a car?
The fee covers the search work whatever happens. If nothing on the market deserves your money, we tell you that in writing, every week, and keep looking for the 60 days your search runs. If it closes without a car, you get a written report of everything we screened and why we passed — and you can restart within 90 days at half the fee. Most of what we screen never reaches your shortlist, and plenty of finalists end in a written 'walk away' — we're paid the same either way, so we never push you into a car just to close. Full details on our terms page.
How is this different from a broker?
A broker takes a percentage of what you spend, so the more you pay the more they make — and a broker arranges the purchase for you. We do neither. We take a flat fee for the search and the verification, and the purchase stays yours: you negotiate from our number, and you sign with the seller, on paper. Nothing in that gives us a reason to want you to spend more, or to buy at all.
Why not just buy from Carvana or Tesla directly?
You can, and their return windows are real. What they won't tell you: the measured battery health, whether FSD actually transfers, or which hardware version you're getting. Their prices are also fixed. We verify before you buy, and on the private market — where the price still moves — we give you the number to negotiate to and back you while you get it.
How long does the search run?
60 days of active searching from the intake call — daily market scans, a shortlist in 72 hours, a written update every week. You can pause it once if life gets in the way, and paused time doesn't burn your window. A bounded search is a serious one: it's why you get our attention rather than a place in an endless queue.
How many cars do you actually check?
As many as it takes to find the ones worth your time, and then we go deep on those. Every serious candidate gets a title and history pre-screen; finalists get the full Carfax and a full config-and-condition read. Those reports cost us money per car, so we spend them on real candidates instead of everything that scrolls past — that's the point of paying someone to filter.
Is the private-party purchase safe?
Safer with the homework done. Before you commit we check the title and liens against the records, read the history, and ask the seller the questions they hoped to skip. Then you get a written handover checklist: what to see, what to sign, and how the money should move so it is never a cashier's check in a parking lot. The contract is between you and the seller, on paper — you walk in knowing more about the car than they do.
