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

2nd time using a broker and it was my first time with Benedetto. I had a bad experience with the first broker, but Ben made things simple for us. He is easy to communicate with and he truly acts in your best interest. I will be using his services again in the coming months for another Volvo.

Working with Benedetto was quick and efficient. I sent my inquiry the week before Christmas and I had a brand new vehicle delivered to my driveway within 4 days. I’m located in Texas, but even with transportation and Texas taxes he was able to get me a deal on an XC90 that was several hundred dollars/month less than what the local dealers were offering. Would recommend, especially for Volvo.

Kudos to Ben for helping me find a vehicle so quickly, get a great deal, have the paperwork completed easily online, and the car delivered to my home so quickly. Appreciated his candor and efficiency in this deal, as I don’t have the time or want to deal with sitting at a dealership for hours. Thanks Ben, love the car and look foward to working with you in the future. PS. My dad is going to reach out at some point in the summer as he saw how easy my experience was. Carolyn Agee

Ben is tremendous. I found him on this forum and emailed him to inquire. He responded in 5 mins. I set up a consultation to discuss pricing and understand the whole process. He explained everything and we proceeded. From our first interaction on January 6, the vehicle was delivered January 15. Tremendous price, fast response, easy to work with, I can’t say enough positive things.

Thanks to Ben, I was able to secure a 2024 XC90 T8 with out–of-state shipping, right in the last days of 2023 especially when inventory was scarce and local dealerships were overcharging an arm and a leg. Ben’s price was most competitive, fair and provided maximum benefit to the consumer. Even more better, was it was just few days before the EOL of my prior XC90 which was also a superb deal that Ben helped secure 2 years ago. Simple, fast and trusted experience E2E. Highly recommend Ben to all Volvo prospects.
Thanks Ben

Recently leased a 2024 XC90 T8 from Ben. This was the easiest car purchase I did in the last 20 years. Ben was upfront with all the pricing info and delivered the vehicle to my door steps. This is how all car purchases should be.

I just leased a 2024 XC90 Recharge from Ben and it was a fantastic experience - he even handled the pull ahead on my existing XC90 and the return back of it. Will definitely be calling him again when my wife wants her next one in 3 years.

I just hope he adds a few more brands so I can just keep calling him for all my car leasing needs!

Just completed an XC90 Recharge lease with Ben and could not be happier. This is the second lease with Ben… replacing the XC90 that he brokered for us in 2021.

Ben’s extremely easy to work with, makes the entire process go smoothly, and I never have to talk to the dealer. He also manages to secure much better pricing than going direct to any dealer. Everything was handled electronically, and the car was delivered to my home on time and in perfect condition.

I’ll be back again in another couple of years! Thanks Ben.

tl;dr: Ben was awesome. 10/10, will use again.

Ben was great to work with on our new XC90 Recharge Ultimate. I had a early lease turn-in, so, Ben had to coordinate some logistics on the paperwork and shipping timing, but he handled everything and kept me updated the whole way.

My 10 year old told me she absolutely didn’t miss ā€œ4 hours sitting on the weird couchā€ at the dealership while we were negotiating and filling out paperwork… instead, we did it all on our phones on the couch while watching television.

In the end, we got a vehicle with whose MSRP was about $9k higher than the lease end vehicle’s for slightly less per month. We only paid Ben’s very reasonable fee, shipping for our new vehicle, and the first month’s lease payment.

I’ll be calling Ben in about 2 3/4 years to find our next car.

Ben is the man! He makes everything very simple and understandable. This was my first time leasing, and after some research I landed here. From day 1 Ben made sure all of my needs were taken care of and I knew where we were at in the process. My Volvo S60 Recharge arrived about a week later and was everything I wanted, HASSLE FREE. Thanks again Ben, I will most certainly be back in 3 years!

Ben was great to work with. At first his communication style was a bit ā€œinterestingā€ to me, but he says what’s on his mind and ultimately it was a great deal. After I agreed I would be going forward with the deal, I found him to be more friendly and really helpful. Ben would give me information anytime I texted/called. He responded really quickly and he’d give me his best estimate of when I could expect the next phase. He answered every time I called for an update and was very forth coming. In the end I enjoyed working with Ben, I bought a car I had never seen, over the internet from a guy across the country based on a forum post I found. The car arrived as described when he told me it would. I would 100% work with Ben again.

Received my XC60 Recharge last week purchased through Ben. Process was smooth, never had to leave the house. Car arrived in great condition. The price was well less than I could have negotiated myself locally. I would definitely work with Ben again.

Wrote a review on Ben 3 years ago for a Volvo, and here I am again. Ben is straightforward, knowledgeable, and just a good dude. Lease or buy with confidence. there’s a reason he has so many repeat customers.

Exceptional Service from Ben - My Go-To Auto Broker.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben for the purchase of my new XC90 T8 Recharge, marking my fifth Volvo acquisition (and my second from Ben). My continued loyalty to Volvo is matched only by my trust and reliance on Ben’s expertise and service. Here’s why Ben is the only auto broker I’ll ever need:

Unbeatable Deals: Time and again, Ben has proven his ability to secure the best deals on the market. His negotiation skills and industry connections ensure you’re getting top value for your money.
Volvo Expertise: Ben’s knowledge of the Volvo brand and its evolution over the years is exceptional. He’s not just a broker; he’s a brand ambassador who understands the nuances between models and years. More importantly, he’s always on your side, ensuring you make an informed decision that’s best for you, not just a sale.
Efficiency and Transparency: From our initial conversation to the final e-signing, Ben arranges everything swiftly and smoothly. He provides clear information on what’s available, offering price transparency and options without delay. His efficiency is unmatched, making the car-buying process a breeze.
Hassle-Free Shipping: Ben’s service doesn’t stop at the sale. He arranged for my XC90 to be shipped directly to my doorstep in one day. The convenience and speed of this service were simply incredible.
Trustworthiness: I cannot stress enough how trustworthy Ben is. I would, without a hesitation, recommend him to anyone - including my own mother. In the world of auto buying, he’s a rare gem who genuinely looks out for his clients’ best interests.

If you’re in the market for a Volvo, there’s no one better to have by your side than Ben. His dedication, expertise, and service excellence make every purchase a pleasure. Thank you, Ben, for once again exceeding my expectations and reinforcing my love for Volvo.

Posting for visibility. I inquired about a XC90 plugin around November of last year. I had some brief conversations about a deal with them and then radio silence.

Just posting to let people know if you need a car sooner than later you can potentially wait 5+ months for a response.

Best of luck on your search !

Very happy with my experience getting a new XC60 Recharge! Needed a car soon and got it fast - in a little over a week even with the dealer moving a bit slow during part of the process. Ben made it easy and was always quick to respond. Once the car was picked up and shipped, it arrived in my driveway next day in perfect condition. Most importantly, the price Ben got was way beyond better than what my local dealers were trying to sell to me. Not to mention I was able to get the Ultimate trim at a way better price than those dealers were selling me the Core or Plus trims at. The broker fee pays for itself in like 1-2 months, absolutely worth your money!

I had a similar experience with Ben. I think working with Ben is probably great if you know you are going to use him. If you are shopping around he will definitely go radio silent on you.

I suppose that’s his right given the paucity of Volvo broker competition. It sure isn’t how shopping for a BMW or MB lease works though.
