FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Every inspection is done in person. We check over 150 items, covering mechanics, bodywork, paint, cosmetic condition, equipment, and paperwork. We also take the car for a test drive.
Yes. You'll receive a report on the condition of every item we checked, along with interior and exterior photos of the car, so you know exactly what you're buying before you close the deal.
"Payment is made before the car search begins."
Getting you the best deal takes real organization. Some people are just testing the waters on buying a car, and we can't afford to spend time and energy on someone who isn't actually ready to buy. Paying in advance commits you to the purchase, just as it commits our team to working hard to find the best deal for you.
Just one (1): the car you point us to.
Yes, just sign up for the Inspection Plan again.
Yes. Once the car is approved, our team negotiates the listed price with the goal of getting you the best deal.
Yes. We take a 20% commission on the discount we negotiate. In other words: on the difference between the listed price and the price we agree with the seller, 20% of that difference goes to us as a commission.
Once I've signed up for the plan and the search has started, can I change the model I want?
You can, but it requires a new contract for the Search Plan, at a 50% discount off the price of the original plan.
If you bought the car from a dealership, Brazil's Consumer Protection Code guarantees a 3-month warranty directly with the seller. If you bought from a private individual who doesn't sell cars as a business, that warranty doesn't apply under the Consumer Protection Code. It falls under the Civil Code's rules on latent defects (vícios redibitórios) instead. Procure Meu Carro is a service provider, not a car dealer, and does not provide any warranty on the cars we recommend.
No. Procure Meu Carro provides advisory and consulting services to help you find the best deal.
Yes. If that's your preferred payment method, we'll negotiate it with the seller. That said, all the paperwork involved, such as credit approval, is entirely your responsibility. (A consórcio is a Brazilian buyers' savings pool used to fund a purchase. Procure Meu Carro doesn't provide this itself.)
We operate in Greater São Paulo. Our team searches for, inspects, and buys the car in this region, where there's a large supply of good vehicles.
No. We work with clients from anywhere in Brazil. We just do the searching, inspecting, and buying here in our home region.
Cars we approve and buy for you can be shipped anywhere in Brazil. We use a freight carrier for that. Or, you can travel to São Paulo yourself to pick it up.
Shipping cost is quoted based on the car's value and the distance to the delivery location. Our team can help you choose the best carrier at no extra charge, but payment goes directly to the carrier you choose.
We only recommend carriers that offer insurance against theft and damage. Don't hire one that doesn't offer insurance.
You can handle it directly with the seller and the relevant authorities. If you'd like our support, there's an additional fee to agree on with our team. This service is optional and doesn't include mandatory government fees. Our team can accompany and assist you through the whole bureaucratic process involving banks and notary offices (cartório). When the sale happens between two individuals in São Paulo, the whole transfer can be done digitally. That option isn't available for companies, or for people living in other states.
Yes, for now. We'll soon have a full team of trained search and inspection specialists, held to the same high standard.
