Review Thread: Benedetto the Broker; Midwest Based & Operate in Most Markets

Add in another successful deal for @Benedetto!

Overall experience was positive and I would definitely work with him again… however, note that the deal did take a month, so I was not as lucky as some of the above people in more competitive areas.

I reached out to Ben in mid-April with all specifics on the car I was looking for and what I was willing to spend. He got back to me a few days later that it should be doable, though the geographic region could pose some challenges (which it did). He would shoot for an end-of-the-month deal.

End of April rolled around and Ben called me to let me know that it was looking more like the first week of May for a deal. He then spent the next couple weeks exhausting all the options in the neighboring states, with dealers that were not willing to come close to a reasonable offer. Mid-May came around, and he was able to get a great deal with a dealer a couple states away, who was willing to do the paperwork by mail, and ship me the car. Ben made the deal and connected me to the GM at the dealer. I had all the paperwork done and the car dropped off in front of my house a week later (1100mi from the dealer).

While Ben was great overall, I did experience similar hiccups as mentioned above with some of his responsiveness and feeling in the dark sometimes (along with feeling like I was pestering him). I chalk this up to him being very busy; both working his ass off for clients, and helping out the community a lot. He was much more communicative as he got closer to the deal, so others should know to just be patient and trust that he’ll get something worked out for you.

Here’s what I ended up with. Loving the car!

2019 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design w/Polestar & all available options (minus the B&W stereo… not worth $3200 to me)
MSRP: $55595, 36/10k
$507/mo + tax. 1st-only DAS, with inceptions & shipping car 1100mis rolled in. No MSDs. (Effectively ~$450/mo)

Finally had the chance to speak to Ben about my lease situation. I can say that I am very pleased with the amount of time he spent on the phone trying to nail down the right course of action for me. He was very easy to talk to and you just know when someone knows what they are talking about.

We decided to ride my lease a little longer but I will def contact him in the near future.

Ben helped me get an XC60 for my wife in FL. He was very helpful and very prompt, especially for being sick and it being a holiday weekend. He worked very quickly and within my parameters, had the car dropped of at my doorstep. Definitely contacting him again.

Car was 2019 XC60 T6 Momentum, $390/mo, $1500 drive off, $4000 MSDs

Contacted Ben to get a Volvo S60 scheduled an appointment and kind of got an idea of what payment I should be expecting. Towards the end of the month was able to pick up a S60 T6 Inscription.

Keep this thread on topic, please. This is a review thread. Any comments should be taken to PM.

Hello,

This post is a month late.

I had waste endless hours searching online, CarGuru, dealership websites, and at the dealership to negotiate and understand the numbers. With one email and phone call, I had the vehicle of my choice with the best monthly payment. Best money I spent!

Short version: Ben is the man to get you the optimal deal. He is fast and reliable. He comes through and is to the point.

Ben got me a sweet deal on White 2019 Volvo XC 60 T6 R Design w/ upgraded wheels and 360 camera package 12k/36 months all for $514/month.
I have already referred friends and family members to Ben and I know I will def. returning back to him in future.

Thank you,

Tej

Working with Ben was great. He was responsive and acted quickly to get us a Volvo XC90 T5 R-Design at a price that worked for us down here in South Florida. I would not hesitate to use his services again, and in fact intend to contact him at the end of the year when we switch another car.

I had the pleasure of working with Ben to get a new lease for my college son. The entire experience exceeded my expectation ( and I have worked with a previous broker, no one here on LH). Ben was easy to work with, explained his process, answered any and all questions I had - even suggested a better vehicle than we were initially talking about that still was under my budget. The whole process was done in about a week. My son is thrilled with his new Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk. Would I work with Ben again…already am on a new luxury SUV!! Would highly recommend him!

I worked with Ben at the end of May to help find my next vehicle.

I explained to him that I wanted a small to medium size SUV with all safety features. I was currently leasing a 2 door BMW and needed something bigger but also did not want to step down in terms of features. He was easy to communicate with through the phone and texts.
Ben was able to find me a great deal on a 2019 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design w/ the advanced package. The car was located about 800 miles away but the dealer shipped the car straight to my door and it only took a day.
I would definitely recommened Ben and his services.

Will be unavailable this Sunday and Monday unless otherwise scheduled.

I contacted Ben through his website. He called me at the set time. we briefly discussed the vehicle i was interested in (volvo xc60), the process and his fee. He let me know he would be able to start working on my deal the following week, Wednesday. He called me the following week as he said to discuss a few options. We had a few more quick phone calls and exchanged some txt messages and email. In a few days, he had the deal all set. The car was a few hundred miles away. He said we could ship the car, but i’m always up for a drive so i went myself to get it. I picked up the car yesterday.

Overall, I’m very happy with Ben’s service, process and price received. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for a broker.

I got in touch with Ben through his website about 2 weeks ago and set up an appointment. He was super thorough and extremely responsive. I did not have a whole lot of time to get a car but he was able to handle this with ease. He is extremely knowledgeable and very upfront. It came down to the wire and Ben was able to get it done. Picked up the car yesterday and its exactly what I wanted.

I am more than happy with Ben’s service and the price he charges. Its beyond worth it not having to deal with the frustrations of a dealer. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a broker who will respond right away and keep the line of communication open to keep you as informed as possible.

Thank you Ben!

I got in touch with Ben about a week ago to lease either a Stelvio or an XC60. Ben set my expectations and we decided to go with the XC60. Ben found me a wonderful car, and given my non-immigrant circumstances worked with me in finding a solution.

Ben was very professional and was quick to respond and answered all my questions. I am very happy with Ben’s service and will be coming back as his client 3 years down the road. I have also recommended his services to my contacts looking for a lease.

Thank you Ben!

Just signed a deal through Ben this past weekend. I wanted to make use of the Costco deal on a Volvo S60 but only talked to Ben late with about 5 days left. He was able to help and quickly give me options.

He was great to communicate with and easily reachable over text or call. He was able to give good overall advice on what he was seeing as a possibility. We ended up finding a few options at a great price.

Ended up with a brand new $51k S60 R-Design w/ Advanced 36 months, 12k miles. Including VA taxes rolled in (~$1,800) and only 1st month payment down, got it at $449 a month with no MSDs.

Was my first time getting a broker and I highly recommend!
