WHAT THIS ROLE IS ALL ABOUT:
If you really love cars and people, there couldn’t be a more fun job out there!
As a car buyer, you’ll be playing a major role on our team - finding and purchasing awesome vehicles for our dealership inventory, specifically from the private party market. You will be watching Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and other sites throughout the day, searching for the best deals on awesome cars, trucks, and Jeeps, etc. - and then the fun begins. It's like a race - to get to those great deals quickly, evaluate the car, negotiate a price, and make a purchase - all in less than an hour or two. There’s lots of competition for these great deals, so you have to be competitive, love to be on-the-go, enjoy the chase, and love making deals happen.
You'll have great training - learning about connecting with people, finding the best selling cars, how to spot mechanical or cosmetic flaws, how to negotiate the best deal and still make it a win-win, and more.
We take an honest approach to car buying and working with the seller, but we are also ambitious and assertive, to make sure we are buying the right cars, for the right price.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
This role isn't for everyone. The work is fun and very rewarding - but only if you love cars, and love negotiating and winning deals. If this is you, you'll know it reading this post.
This is definitely not for someone that just wants to work 9-5. You’ll always have FBMP and Craigslist open checking out the latest vehicle listings - and loving it! And you'll have to be flexible with hours, and be willing to (no... actually wanting to...) chase down a deal at 8pm, or 7am, or Saturday afternoon. If either of those sound like "work" to you, and not fun, this won't be the right thing for you.
Depending on your goals, your talents, and abilities, this position will also give you the chance to take on greater responsibilities and have greater opportunities with our company.
WHO WE ARE:
Conventional wisdom says this post should be all about you - but we know the rock star we’re looking for wants to bring their talent to an awesome company. So here’s a little about us:
4x winners of both Idaho's Best and Best of the Treasure Valley for 2020-2024 – Maverick is a car dealership that doesn't act like one.

Because this is such a unique position that you most likely haven't done before, and probably weren't even looking for - If you’re serious about this opportunity, when you apply please answer the following questions in a brief cover letter:
- Why would you want this job?
- What relevant experience do you have, and why do you think you would excel?
- On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate your mechanical aptitude? (1= can change oil and change a tire, 5= you have the knowledge and skills to be a full time mechanic)
