I only wish I had found Richard Lipinski and My Next Car Buying Advocacy earlier!

I had not owned a car in several years, due to Melbourne’s excellent public transport system, riding an electric bike, being a member of Car Next Door and Go Get, and using Ubers and taxis. However, once my only grandchild had turned two, I knew having my own car with a toddler seat installed would enable me to have more flexibility, and a whole better range of options available for us to both enjoy. I had already done heaps of research in preparation for this time, but that only left me feeling overwhelmed with choices. So I procrastinated and nothing happened.

Then someone told me about MNCBA. After reviewing Richard’s website, and reading the testimonials, I contacted him in the hope that he could help me come to a decision after weighing up all the pros and cons of the cars I had researched.

This was the turning point. Once we had our first meeting – during COVID this was by Zoom, I immediately relaxed knowing I was in good hands. Richard quickly cut to the chase. His expertise helped me navigate through the quagmire of possibilities.

Between us we narrowed down the choices. A car where my grandchild would be comfortable and safe, but also a car that I would enjoy driving on the open road, taking occasional trips around Victoria. It needed grunt and guts. After test driving a few cars, I am now the proud owner of a 2021 VW Polo 85TSI in a fabulous limestone grey metallic colour.

It is certainly zippy and fun to drive and looks very smart. Since I have only had the car a few weeks, I haven’t yet experienced driving out of Melbourne and testing the car over 80kph. And I can’t wait to do that.

Without Richard’s professionalism and guidance, I would most likely still be dithering.

I was really impressed by the professional service that Richard provided. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about cars and he has a warm and pleasant nature. Richard took the time and effort to engage in multiple conversations about my needs and preferences and his recommendations were very helpful.

I was so glad not to have to do all the running around car dealers, the research and the negotiating, especially as I live in regional Victoria. His follow-up was regular and timely and he kept me informed of progress in the lead-up to pick up day.

Richard and the services of My Next Car Buying Advocacy made the whole car-buying process easy and enjoyable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I cannot recommend Richard’s “Car Buying/ Selling Advocacy” highly enough!

We engaged Richard to sell our 2018 Ford Ranger as we did not have the time or fortitude to prepare advertising, respond to enquiries, take calls, organise test drives and do the transfer paperwork while working fulltime.

Richard’s service was an absolute dream come true for us. He has a terrific communication style and listened to what our priorities were (we wanted to sell before Christmas) and was completely transparent about likely interest, expected sale price and timing.

He took a detailed interest in what our competitors were advertising for their vehicles and provided weekly updates on what the market was paying for the model. We really value his honesty, energy and the way he was able to tell if a buyer was genuinely interested or just kicking a few tyres.

The sale was achieved in just under 4 weeks and we were delighted with the result.

Thank you, Richard and the services of My Next Car Buying Advocacy, we look forward to working with you again!
