John Ricci

Founder & Lead Negotiator | Former Dealership Finance Director
30+ years behind the curtain. Once the guy maximizing dealer profits — now the guy protecting buyers from them. John knows every trick in the book because he helped write it.


Today, he uses that insider knowledge to save you thousands, not squeeze them out of you.
He’s negotiated hundreds of deals, built relationships with dealerships across Southern California, and knows every tactic in the book.


His philosophy? “Buyers deserve someone on their side who actually knows what they’re doing. I’m that person.”

Shea Vitartas, MBA

Co-Founder & Strategic Advisor | Finance Expert
MBA in finance + 10+ years as John’s client. After being one of John’s clients for over a decade and securing deal after deal, Shea teamed up with him to bring a smarter car-buying roadmap to the public.
Now millions of buyers can shop with confidence instead of confusion.
He’s obsessed with helping people win with their money. His background in finance and strategic thinking helps clients make smarter decisions—not just on price, but on the entire buying process.
His mission? “Make expert car buying accessible to anyone who values their time and money.”
