Common questions

What format are the guides?+

Every guide is a PDF laid out for both print (US Letter) and phone reading. Checkboxes work in any standard PDF reader, so you can fill them in on a phone at the kerb or print and clip it to a board.

How do I receive a guide after buying?+

Paid guides are sold through our Etsy shop, which delivers the download immediately after checkout. Free guides download straight from this site with no signup.

Do the guides cover leasing as well as buying?+

Yes. The negotiation guide covers lease maths — money factor, residual and capitalised cost reduction — and the same scripts apply whether you are financing, leasing or paying cash.

Can I use a guide for more than one car?+

Yes. They are reusable checklists, not one-time forms. Print a fresh copy for each car you look at, or keep the PDF and fill in a new copy on your phone.

Are the guides updated?+

We revise them as dealer tactics and pricing norms shift. Guides are licensed for personal use — please don't redistribute them.
