2006 Ford Escape XLT 4WD

For years, while employed at traditional, franchise dealerships, we watched as the public consistently overpaid for pre-owned vehicles. As time went on and the power of the internet began to emerge, the solution to this injustice became clear. Remove all of the reasons that force franchise dealers to overcharge for their vehicles. At Autos Direct Online, you will not find an overpopulated sales staff, standing around, soaking up large salaries. You will not find a staff of porters or lot attendants, collecting their hourly wages, and you will not find an overpaid sales management team, looking for every opportunity to increase their bottom line, since that is how they generate their paychecks. When you arrive to pick up your quality pre-owned vehicle from us, you will not pick it up at a huge, newly renovated, dollar- draining facility that forces the dealer to demand large profit margins on each customer purchase. And when you view our internet presentations, you will not be viewing a small part of a huge advertising budget, that when combined with print, radio, and television advertisements, can total the single biggest expense at a traditional store, forcing them, again, to charge additional dollars to the customer, so they can cover their expenses as quickly as possible.

Autos Direct Online is a streamlined, "no-waste" e-Dealership developed and maintained with an overwhelming focus on delivering the lowest possible price for a quality pre-owned vehicle. You will also find an honest, low- pressure sales approach from our friendly staff, and an accurate, forthright representation of that particular vehicle in our descriptions, including any defects or flaws. Our vehicles are acquired from manufacturer sales, off-lease outlets, auctions located around the U.S., and other reliable dealers' trade-ins. The vehicles are immediately inspected by an independent, certified technician, and are then driven by Autos Direct Online ownership as a quality control measure. They are then fully detailed, pictured for internet presentation, and stored in our climate-controlled and secure, 10,000 square-foot warehouse, until sold. Vehicles are then offered to the public, and are shown on an appointment only basis.

What this equals for you, the customer, is a fresh, integrity-based purchasing process. All measures are taken to ensure that we keep the best interests of the buyer at the forefront of our operation, and that the process is easy and enjoyable, beginning with the first phone call or email, all the way to the point of the buyers receipt of their vehicle. We are looking forward to providing you with an experience that you will be proud to be a part of.

Autos Direct Online is a fully licensed, bonded, and insured automobile dealer that is in full compliance with all state laws and regulations in the state of Ohio. We are also in good standing with the Ohio Independent Automobile Dealers Association, the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association, and the Square Trade seal program.

Ohio residents will pay all Ohio sales taxes and title and registration fees in accordance with their county of vehicle registration. Out-of state residents will be responsible for all city/ state/ county, taxes, title, and registration fees applicable in their residential state at time of vehicle registration. Out of state buyers do not pay Ohio sales tax, only the taxes charged by their state of vehicle registration. Autos Direct Online is obligated by law to collect taxes for the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachussetts, Michigan, South Carolina, and Washington. These states are "reciprocating States" meaning that we MUST collect taxes upfront, and the funds are then sent to the Department of Taxation on behalf of the buyer. Buyer then does not have to pay tax again when registering their vehicle. The taxes are added to the purchase price of the vehicle and will be paid on your behalf. Autos Direct Online will collect any applicable taxes and fees for Ohio residents. Autos Direct Online will charge a $269.00 fee to all customers to cover the cost of vehicle inspection, paperwork preparation, overnight mailing costs, title transfers, and 30 day temporary tags. We cannot waive these fees, so please do not ask.
