International Auto Source
Hi All,
Just used IAS to source a car ready for my full relocation date in Jan. I must say it has been really straightforward, for those that are debating what to do about a car it seems like a no brainer. (providing you can find something within your budget of course)
I am sure there have been numerous threads on IAS, but just wanted to share some positives for anyone in a similar position to myself. (L1 Visa, NO credit in the US and no company car provided by company)
Thanks

Yes we found them good.
I kept my car for 9 years and now my son has it.

Re: International Auto Source
Shanks, I'm glad to hear you found them to still be good. I bought a Mustang through IA in 2001 and found the service to be excellent. I have recommended them many many times since then, in fact so many times that someone at IA asked to speak to me!
I still have the Mustang.

Pulaski, yes very impressed - the biggest thing is that they are not jumping down your throat trying to get the deal done, they appreciate that these things take time - having worked in the motor trade for 6 years, this is far from the norm!
Big thumbs up from me.

Re: International Auto Source
Good to hear. I'm looking at them right now actually but weighing up whether to lease or finance a used car (or just sort it out when i get there).
What did you go for with them?

I've ordered a car with them too.
Don't forget to ask them about car insurance too. Hugely expensive compared to UK but half what Geico quoted me.

Hi, I am also looking at options with auto source. Do you mind me asking what car you decided on as i am finding it difficult without seeing the cars incase I don't like it.

Re: International Auto Source
If you returned home there's not much they could actually do anyway...
But to break the lease legally you'd probably need to pay up.
If you didn't, in theory they could sue and collect a judgement, a civil judgement not a criminal one.
I don't think, (I don't know), if that could influence further trips to the US in the future.

Re: International Auto Source
I have a leased car through IAS. I only took a two yr lease, which i don't really plan on trying to get out of early, but I do recall in the deal there is an early get out in the last 6 mths, if you are leaving the US. Just looked it up & my docs say....."Repatriation Protection Plan:If for any reason, you need to terminate your stay prior to the completion of your vehicle contract, simply provide repatriation documentation from your employer and IAS will cover up to the final 6 months or $2500 of your remaining lease payments." Hope that helps
