About Don't Overpay Garage

Don't Overpay Garage is an online store that sells six downloadable used-car guides: four single guides and two bundles. They cover how to buy a used car and how to sell your own, are written in plain English by a working used-car buyer, and come as a PDF plus an editable DOCX. Every guide is the author's opinion and general information, not financial or legal advice.

Hi, I'm Andrew.

I buy used cars for a living. Every day I look at vehicles, work out what they're really worth, and decide what's a fair price to pay. After enough miles in that seat, you start to see where buyers get tripped up, and it's almost never the car itself. It's the process.

Why I made these guides

Most people only buy a car every few years, so they're up against someone who does it all day. I wanted to hand over the same kind of checklist I use: how to size up a car, what to look for, what to ask, and how to keep a clear head when the numbers start flying.

What you'll find here

  • Buyer's guides for shopping at dealers and from private sellers, at a few different budgets.
  • A seller's guide for pricing your own car and not getting lowballed.
  • Bundles if you want to cover both sides of the road.

Every guide is a plain-spoken PDF (plus an editable DOCX) you can pull up on your phone in the driveway or on the lot. No jargon, no fluff.

A quick note

These guides are my opinion and experience, shared as general information. They're not financial or legal advice, and I can't promise any particular price or result. What I can promise is a clear process you can follow at your own pace.
