ABOUT AUTOFACTO

W​​ith a combined 100+ years in automotive retail, our team has recently expanded from acquiring vehicles exclusively for referral and repeat clients, to potentially working with new ones…we tell our clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Autofacto accesses numerous dealer-only auctions (Manheim US, Adesa, etc.) to maximize trade-in values and monitor real-time market conditions.

Our team is fully licensed and adheres to all tenets and policies of the VSA and the ARA.

Nobel laureate George Akerlof

In 2001, a Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to George Akerlof, for a widely cited paper exploring the concept of asymmetric information creating adverse selection in various markets, including the car market.

From Akerlof’s paper:

  • “How is a consumer going to derive the correct price for a car if there are so many variables to correct for?”

  • “…transactors’ attention to price while putting blinkers on others, can leave major questions unanswered.”
