Deposits & financing
A clear search deposit.No hidden conditions.
The $1,000 search deposit funds a real, authorized search on your behalf. Here is exactly how it works, and what happens in every outcome.
$1,000
Search deposit
Initiates an authorized vehicle search against your documented brief.
$900
Refund if not located
If no qualifying vehicle is found within 30 days, $100 is retained as a search fee and the rest is refunded.
$1,000
Credited on purchase
If you buy a vehicle we sourced and you approved, the full deposit is credited toward the purchase.
The agreement
Proposed terms, pending legal review.
These are our proposed business rules. They are reviewed with you in writing before any deposit is requested, and they are pending final legal review.
Review the search agreement- 01
Authorized search
A $1,000 vehicle search deposit initiates an authorized search for a vehicle matching your documented criteria, for the agreed search period.
- 02
If no qualifying vehicle is found
If a qualifying vehicle cannot be located within the agreed search period, we retain a $100 search fee and refund the remaining $900.
- 03
If you purchase an approved vehicle
If you purchase a vehicle sourced and approved through ALM and Company, the full $1,000 deposit is credited toward your purchase.
- 04
Cancellation and changed preferences
Customer cancellation, changed preferences, rejected vehicles and financing failures are governed by separately defined written terms provided with your agreement. They are not determined by this summary alone.
- 05
Nothing is purchased without you
We will not purchase, commit to, or place a hold on a vehicle without your documented authorization. Every vehicle is presented for your review and approval first.
- 06
Pending legal review
These terms are proposed business rules currently pending final legal review. No live deposit collection is activated until the agreement and legal terms are finalized.
Financing
Pay cash, or let us help you arrange financing.
If you are financing, we can work with your bank or credit union, or introduce you to lending partners. Approval, rate and terms are determined by the lender — never by us.
- • Your brief asks about financing preferences up front so the search fits your budget.
- • Monthly payment limits are treated as a hard ceiling in the search.
- • We do not request Social Security numbers or full credit applications on the public form.
- • Pre-approval is recommended before a vehicle is finalized.
Online deposit collection
Live deposit collection is currently disabled. We will not accept a deposit online until the agreement and legal terms are finalized. Until then, every deposit is arranged directly with our team and documented with a receipt.
Refunds and cancellation
Refunds are recorded against your request with an amount, reason and date — visible in your customer portal. Cancellation, changed preferences, rejected vehicles and financing failures are governed by separate written terms provided with your agreement.
No guarantee of approval
We cannot guarantee financing approval, a specific rate, or that every competitor's advertised price can be beaten. We can guarantee that the numbers are documented before you commit.
Next step
Review the agreement, then decide.
Submit your brief first. You will see the full agreement before any deposit is discussed.
