Car sales has been around for over a century. The stereotypes are loud—but not always accurate. Here’s what Jared wishes every guest knew about payments, trade-ins, margins, and trust.
Talk with Jared About Your Situation
Movies, memes, and old stories have painted a rough picture of car salespeople. The truth is that most of us are working-class professionals who depend on reputation, repeat business, and reviews to survive.
Jared isn’t here to “win” one deal and disappear. The long game is simple: help you so well that you come back, send your friends, and feel good every time you see your vehicle in the driveway.
Understanding what’s actually in our control—and what isn’t—turns the whole experience from “me versus them” into a partnership built on clear information.
Jared has a family, normal bills, and a job that relies on good word-of-mouth. Staying honest and helpful is the only way this career works long-term.
Most vehicles don’t have giant markups. Profit often comes from volume, financing options, protection plans, and service—not from “one giant score” on your deal.
A happy customer who understands their deal is the best advertising any salesperson can have. The goal is for you to feel comfortable sending friends and family, not to leave with doubts.
When you understand these five realities about payments, trade-ins, and margins, your next purchase becomes smoother, more transparent, and far less stressful.
Your monthly payment is mostly set by the bank or lender, your interest rate, loan term, down payment, and credit profile. Jared can negotiate the selling price and structure, but not the bank’s approval criteria.
Your trade-in value is based on condition (inside and out), mileage, equipment, and local market demand. Appraisers look at live auction data and industry guides—not random guesses—so the offer lines up with reality.
Most new vehicles—especially popular models—have tighter margins than people think. FMYCAR stays in business by serving many guests well, not by making a huge profit on one person.
The people helping you on the showroom floor rely on long-term relationships, online reviews, and referrals. Respect is mutual: treat Jared fairly, and you’ll get the same in return.
A satisfied guest who feels informed, respected, and confident in their purchase is worth more than any one-time profit. Jared wants you to drive away feeling good about the vehicle and the process.
When you’re just starting to research, it’s easy to assume the dealership is “hiding something.” Knowing how payments, trade-ins, and margins actually work lets you focus on what matters: the right vehicle and a fair, clear deal.
Instead of wondering if someone is “taking advantage of you,” you’ll know which questions to ask:
That’s real transparency: not guessing, but seeing how the pieces fit together.
In one short conversation, Jared can:
The goal isn’t to “talk you into” something—it’s to give you enough clarity that the decision feels easy.
“I was nervous about buying, but Jared Casper was completely transparent about the price, my trade-in, and the financing. It felt like talking to a helpful friend, not a salesperson.”

Your payment is mostly based on the bank’s approval, interest rate, term, and credit profile. Jared can help with the vehicle choice, price, and structure, but does not decide the lender’s approval guidelines.
Condition, mileage, equipment, accident history, and local demand all play a role. Appraisers use industry guides and live market data so your offer is tied to reality, not just someone’s opinion.
Usually not. Many new vehicles have tight margins. FMYCAR stays profitable through volume, financing, added protection, and service—not by overcharging one guest.
Like any profession, there are good and bad actors. But most of us are working-class people who rely on honesty, online reviews, and referrals. Jared’s long-term success depends on your trust, not a one-time win.
With the right documents and some info provided in advance, many guests move from test drive to signed paperwork in a few hours. Planning ahead and communicating clearly is what keeps it moving.
Yes. Your details are handled by FMYCAR and our approved lenders only as needed to help you buy, finance, or service your vehicle. Your privacy matters.
A great car-buying experience starts with an honest, transparent conversation. Connect with Jared Casper to see your numbers clearly and move at your pace.
