Commercial vehicle acquisition - prelaunch
Put the right vehicle in the right job.
A planned service for sourcing, comparing, negotiating, financing or leasing, upfitting, registering, delivering, replacing, and recurring business vehicle orders.
The customer remains the decision-maker.
Customers make all final vehicle, price, financing, trade-in, warranty, protection-product, and repair decisions. Simplified Auto does not sign or submit binding offers in a customer's name and does not hold customer deposits, down payments, lender proceeds, registration fees, taxes, or vehicle purchase funds.
Acquisition scope
Coordinate the transaction around the operation.
The exact scope depends on vehicle count, specifications, condition, financing path, upfits, delivery locations, and timing.
Compare and negotiate
Source new or used options, compare commercial transaction structures, and coordinate dealer conversations.
Coordinate delivery
Plan upfits, registration and title steps, delivery locations, replacements, and recurring vehicle orders.
Transaction choices
Compare more than the advertised payment.
Commercial financing and leasing decisions should consider cash flow, mileage, use restrictions, customization, replacement cadence, ownership goals, and end-of-term exposure.
- Cash purchase, commercial finance, lease, or unsure
- New, used, or open to either
- Replacement, expansion, or first business vehicle
- Upfit cost and vehicle lead time
- Multiple locations and delivery needs
- Expected ownership period and resale path
Planned fees and third-party costs: Commercial acquisition requests will be quoted individually after licensing approval. Vehicle price, dealer charges, lender costs, interest, taxes, registration, transportation, upfits, and other third-party services remain separate.
What happens next
Build the acquisition around the work.
The process connects vehicle selection, transaction structure, upfits, registration, and delivery so one decision does not create a problem somewhere else.
