What's the difference between an auto concierge and a car broker in Rancho Mirage?
Functionally similar — both negotiate on your behalf. "Concierge" usually implies a flat-fee buyer-side model; "broker" is the older industry term and sometimes implies dealer-paid commission. CarWhere is buyer-side only: you pay $34.99/month, dealers pay nothing, and the AI agent's only incentive is the lowest out-the-door price for you.
Can an auto concierge help with leases and used cars in Rancho Mirage?
Yes — the agent negotiates anything a Rancho Mirage dealership's internet sales team will quote in writing: new cars, franchise used inventory, and leases (where it requests the itemized worksheet so cap cost and money factor are visible). Private-party used sales aren't supported.
