Our guarantee

If we don't save you more than our fee, you don't pay.

Every Carnegos engagement includes a written savings guarantee — and the $999 fee is only charged after we've found your car and you've approved the deal.

When you pay

Nothing upfront
No card, no deposit, no retainer. You sign the engagement and we start negotiating.
Paid after delivery
The flat $999 fee is invoiced only after we've secured your car and you've approved the final signed deal.
Refunds
Because the fee is only charged post-delivery, there is nothing to refund on unsold work. If a fee was paid and documented savings don't exceed it, the fee is credited in full.

How the savings guarantee is calculated

1. Baseline
Before we negotiate, we document your baseline: the first written dealer offer covering selling price, dealer fees, add-ons, financing terms and trade-in value.
2. Final signed deal
We compare the baseline line-by-line against your final signed contract — same vehicle, same trim, same options.
3. Net savings
Net savings = baseline out-the-door cost − final out-the-door cost (including financing improvements and trade-in gains). If net savings < $999, the fee is waived or credited in full.

What counts as savings

Reductions in selling price, removed or reduced fees and add-ons, improvements in financing rate or term, and any increase in your trade-in offer. Everything is documented in writing, so the number isn't up for debate.

Why we can offer it

Most deals leave $1,500 to $4,000 on the table between hidden fees, over-priced add-ons and mispriced financing. Our fee is a fraction of that — so as long as we do our job, the math works in your favor.

Before you sign, let us negotiate.
