1. What exactly is a personal car buying assistance service?
We are your side of the deal. We accompany you from the moment you decide you need a vehicle until the key is in your hands. This includes accurately characterizing your needs, filtering through hundreds of ads, checking the vehicle's history, physically inspecting it on site, managing price negotiations, and closing the paperwork.
2. Why take Auto Match and not go to the field or testing center alone?
מגרשי רכב רוצים למכור לכם את מה שיש להם במלאי.
אנחנו רוצים לקנות עבורכם את מה שנכון לכם. אנחנו לא מחזיקים רכבים ולא קשורים לאף סוכנות, לכן הייעוץ שלנו אובייקטיבי ב-100%. בנוסף, מכון בדיקה אומר לך מה מצב הרכב, אנחנו אומרים לך אם המחיר הוגן, מנהלים את המו"מ וחוסכים לך את הכסף שמכון הבדיקה לא יחזיר לך אנחנו חוסכים לכם מאות שקלים על בדיקות סרק במכונים על ידי סינון מקדים קפדני ופסילת רכבים מראש.
3. How do you check if a vehicle has been in an accident or has decreased in value?
We combine three levels of protection:
- Review of documents and history of treatments and insurance claims (clearance report).
- Our comprehensive visual and mechanical inspection in the field.
- "Final inspection at a certified institute. We reject most of the vehicles we see so that you only get the best."
4. What types of vehicles is the service suitable for?
השירות שלנו מתאים לכולם: החל מרכבים משפחתיים וחסכוניים, דרך רכבי פנאי ו-SUV ועד לרכבי מנהלים ויוקרה. אנחנו יודעים למצוא את ה'מציאות' בכל סגמנט בשוק היד השנייה."
5. Does the service include handling bureaucracy and paperwork?
Absolutely. We handle the negotiations with the seller for you, check that there are no liens or encumbrances on the vehicle, and accompany you through the process of transferring ownership. The goal is for you to be calm and quiet throughout the entire process."
6. How much does it cost?
עלות ליווי לקניית רכב באוטו מאץ' נעה בין 240 ש"ח לייעוץ ראשוני ועד 4,499 ש"ח לליווי מלא מא' ועד ת'. חשוב לזכור כי ברוב המקרים החיסכון במו"מ גבוה מעלות השירות.
7. How do you check if a vehicle's mileage is fake?
To identify a fake speedometer, we at Auto Match perform a triple data cross-check: checking garage maintenance history, verifying against insurance company settlement reports, and checking the Ministry of Transportation records from the last test. Any discrepancy in the data is considered a red flag and protects you from buying a vehicle that has undergone "cosmetic treatment."
8. What is the difference between the Levi Yitzhak price list price and the real market price?
The Levi Yitzhak price list is the official starting point, but the Israeli market operates differently. The real market price is affected by the supply and demand of a specific model, the level of maintenance, the number of hands, and the type of previous ownership. We weigh all of these variables to determine the correct and fair price for the vehicle, and negotiate hard to ensure that you do not pay a shekel above the true market value.
9. Why is personal accompaniment better than just testing at a testing center?
An inspection center gives a technical report on the condition of the components, but it doesn't tell you if the deal is good. AutoMatch's support gives you a complete package: filtering fictitious ads, checking insurance history (clearance) that is not performed at the centers, managing negotiations with the seller, and checking the legal status of the vehicle. Our goal is not only to find a vehicle that is in good condition, but to find the most profitable deal for you.
10. Should I buy a car from a leasing company or from a private individual?
אין תשובה אחת נכונה – לכל אפשרות יש יתרונות. ברכב מליסינג לרוב תקבלו היסטוריית טיפולים מלאה ואפשרות למימון, בעוד שבאדם פרטי ניתן למצוא "מציאות" עם קילומטראז' נמוך במיוחד. המומחיות שלנו היא לזהות את ה"מוקשים" בכל מסלול ולהמליץ לכם על הרכב הטוב ביותר בנקודת הזמן הנוכחית, ללא קשר לזהות המוכר.
11. How do you know if a vehicle has been in a serious accident or has chassis damage?
We use a digital paint thickness gauge and check the chassis for signs of loosening bolts and welds. We also pull detailed depreciation reports from insurance companies to ensure that there is no damage to the vehicle’s safety or future value, beyond its shiny exterior.
12. Is it worth buying an electric vehicle in 2025-2026?
ההחלטה תלויה בנסועה השנתית וביכולת הטעינה בבית. באוטו מאץ' אנו מבצעים בדיקת כדאיות כלכלית מותאמת אישית לכל לקוח, כולל ניתוח ירידת ערך צפויה של רכבים חשמליים מול חיסכון בדלק.
13. How do you identify a used car dealer who is posing as a private individual?
There are several identification signs: searching the phone number on Google (to see if there are many ads), checking the ownership on the license form (does the name match the seller), and checking if the seller is knowledgeable about the vehicle's service history. Our service includes a pre-screening that eliminates fraudulent dealers before you even leave home.
14. What is the most recommended and reliable family vehicle on the second-hand market?
The choice depends on your budget, but models like the Toyota Corolla or Hyundai Ioniq are considered very reliable in the Israeli market. At Auto Match, we help you match the exact model based on your type of driving and expected maintenance costs.
