Richie is a man of high integrity and morals. When Richie tells you that he will do something you can count on him 100% of the time. Recently I reached out to him for assistance in selling my vehicle. I shared with Richie that I wanted to sell the car quickly but for a very specific somewhat aggressive price. Richie assured me that this would be no issue at all. Within a day one of Richie's industry connections connected me to set up the sale of my vehicle. The next day this individual met me with check in hand. I joked with the individual about purchasing my car "sight unseen.” He stated he would always trust any deal that came from Richie. I would highly recommend any business venture with Rich Axelsen. Rudy DiPietro - District Manager Hannaford Brothers

Wrapping up a deal with Richie tomorrow. He puts 110% into every client to get them what they want at a price they can afford. 5 stars. Will be using him in a few months for a new truck! Auto Buying Assistant LLC Northgate Lawn Care LLC - Jake Audet – President “I live in Florida and I would not buy my cars from any other person. I feel Richie is very reliable and trustworthy to look out for my best interest when it coming to buying a new or used vehicle. I compare prices with other dealership and Richie beat them all by a large margin. I pay the shipping charges to be sent here in my home town in Ormond Beach, FL. Have never been disappointed. I recommend my friends and relatives to go see Richie and they all have told me they were treated real good and very satisfied with price and the service. My mom would not go anywhere else... When I travel back to Maine, I always stop in to just say Hi. There should be more good people like Richie out there, I always feel when I leave there that I got the best deal in town, and like I got a great friend in the automobile industry that I can call anytime and he will do his best to get me the best deal in town for me..” January 7, 2011 Everett Butts – Retired - Ormond Beach, Florida

Richie rocks and got me a great deal on an amazing car!!! was under a lot of pressure because I totaled my vehicle and needed one fast and Richie found me the exact vehicle I was looking for within 24 hours from my email to him and got me a great deal on my 2007 Nissan Sentra with only 27k miles, I will be sending everyone to Richie. Chelsea Thompson – South Portland, Me Auto Buying Assistant LLC

Richie was referred to us by a family member and we was looking to replace our 2001 Hyundai Tiburon that was all rusted out and he was amazing is finding us a car that met both of our financial & auto needs which we was trying to do for the last month, we would highly recommend Auto Buying Assistant to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle.

Beverlee Henline & Karen Russell – Westbrook, Me

I bought a 1991 Rav-4 through Richie Axelsen several years ago. I saved hundreds of dollars at the time of sale, and my car is still on the road. I have 200,400 miles on it, there is no rust and it is still running so well, that I expect to get another 2-3 years out of it! You cannot do better than that. When it comes time to get another vehicle, I am definitely going to contact Richie! He is the greatest at this!! Thank you Richie! Nancy Marshall Owner of Finesse Jewelers – Skowhegan, Maine Auto Buying Assistant LLC

“Up until recently, I have always had an allergic reaction to dealing with the people and process involved in a car purchase. Suffice it to say, as long as Richie is around to assist, I may just buy a new car more often. Totally hassle free……….and even fun. Thanks Richie! “

Ann Houser - Vice President Unum US Human Resources

"Richie was very helpful from start to finish with the purchase of my new car. He provided me extensive and insightful research in a timely manner. Once I decided on a car, he immediately went to work in negotiating the right price within my budget. With his hard working and committed mentality, Richie will go above and beyond to fulfill any person's needs. When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, this is the guy that you want on your team!" - Adam Caron - Marketing Specialist Gardiner FCU- Brunswick, Maine

Had a wonderful buying experience with Richie and ABA. The proactive communication and professionalism made me feel very comfortable with the process. Despite living in Maryland and not knowing anyone in the Ohio area (where I bought my car) I had complete confidence in Richie after discussing my circumstances. Thanks for all your help.

Evan Watkins –IT Specialist Sprit Corporation - Glenn Dale, Maryland Auto Buying Assistant LLC If you are looking to sell a vehicle like I was, doing so with Richie at Auto Buying Assistant couldn't have been any easier. Within one day of providing the information on my vehicle to Richie he had found a buyer and to top it off he negotiated the entire deal for exactly the amount I was looking to get out of the vehicle. Richie knows the ins and outs of the auto business. I strongly recommend anyone looking to sell a vehicle to use his services, the small fee he charges will be well worth the hundreds or thousands more he will get you in the negotiation process!

Thanks again Richie!

I recently purchased a vehicle with the assistance of Richie. I have a relatively busy work schedule and at the time was living in another state. Richie managed to coach me over the two month process (Delayed only due to my move back to Maine) fielding numerous calls and emails with his standard high energy and positive attitude. Richie found my vehicle through his endless industry network, the vehicle far exceeded all of my predetermined metrics.

Negotiating was a no brained Richie had already worked with the sales team to determine a fair price and interest rate. Both were far better than any other dealer in New England. I would estimate that I easy saved $5,000 on this transaction over the life of my loan.

There is no doubt in my mind that when I am ready to purchase another vehicle Richie will be the first person I call.

Rudy DiPietro - Director of Merchandising - Hannaford Supermarkets – New England Auto Buying Assistant LLC Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say "thank you" for the great service you provided to Jody and I on the purchase of our new vehicle. I've purchased many vehicles over the years, but none went this smoothly and with this little stress. In using Auto Buying Assistant, we ended up with the right vehicle at the right price and without all the hassles of dealing directly with the various dealerships. Once we identified the vehicle and features we wanted, you went to work. The price was great and the experience even better. I'll sing your praises to all of my friends and I look forward to our next purchase with you. You have a customer for life! Thanks

Just wanted to take the time to drop you a note of thanks for the hard work you did for my wife and I in our search for a new (to us) vehicle. Like most people, when my wife and I decided it was time to retire the 12 year old 165,000 mile car I was driving, the prospect of vehicle shopping and buying process did not excite us, to say the least. I work full time travelling around the state, and my wife is a stay at home mother with our 20 month old son. To find the time to enquire, drive, haggle, etc on a variety of vehicles at a variety of dealerships was just about impossible for us. We were also very aggressive in what we were looking for in a vehicle. Low mileage, and with myself being a Marden by blood and employment, well, let’s just say the price had to be right.

I had met and worked with Richie at charity events in the past, and I knew he was a straight-shooting honest guy (I’ll let the fact that he’s a Yankees fan slide). The price he charges for his services looked great to us, and we figured why not. Nothing required up front other than a phone call and the info on what we were looking for. Okay, Richie – get to it!

Within three days of getting the initial information to Richie, he had visited several dealerships, and made phone calls to many others. He narrowed the field down to a few cars for us, and we decided to meet him at a dealership and see what magic he could come up with. Needless to say, I was VERY impressed!

The price of the vehicle was well within our budget, and he was able to leverage a great price for our trade-in. It was great to not feel intimidated or overwhelmed at the dealership with Richie there. He’s an industry insider, and it was nice to have that on our side of the table. We were able to find the vehicle we wanted, at the price we wanted, and we only had to make travel/babysitting arrangements once to buy the vehicle.

At the dealership, Richie showed us the stack of other customer vehicle requests he was working on. I was blown away – with the way Richie had treated my calls and inquiries, I honestly felt we were the only customer he was working with. That is customer service at its finest, in my opinion.

I’ve literally been born and raised within a family and business that prides itself on providing deals, low prices, and customer-first service. Richie gets a 5-star rating on all of these, in my opinion. I’m looking forward to spreading the word on how Richie worked for us, and I can’t wait to send more business his way. I can’t stress enough the value of what Richie does for the price. We literally saved thousands of dollars and hours of time, for what I consider a small pittance with the services he provides. Thanks again Richie – I look forward to working with you in the future! Auto Buying Assistant LLC -Jake Marden - Marketing Director and Retail Buyer for Marden’s

As an attorney with an interest in Consumer Protection—and as a Certified Financial Planner™—I have learned that it takes an expert to deal with an expert . . . at least it does if you want the best result. Car buying is no different. With Auto Buying Assistant LLC, you have an expert on YOUR side: Richie Axelsen!

Richie knows the business, and having a “car guy” negotiate for you means you end up with the best deal and the peace of mind of knowing that you have not overpaid or been taken advantage of—two things I never believed when I bought cars on my own. On top of it all, Richie is a great guy. You’ll be glad you met him and had his help.

Barry Kohler - Attorney and Certified Financial Planner. Auto Buying Assistant LLC Using Richie's services to buy a car was a timely, perfect decision for me. I've needed a new car for several years now, but have procrastinated because I don't like dealing with car salesmen and dealership owners. I also don't like shopping around for the best bargain for my trade-in - it takes too long and I can't tell when I'm being lied to. And, I'm someone who doesn't really enjoy test driving cars. With Richie, all my car phobias were addressed. I spoke with him on a Wednesday, reviewed his research about the cars on my list the next Monday, and on Thursday was driving my new car off the lot. What I couldn't do in two years he did in 8 days! I never had to haggle with salesmen, drive from dealership to dealership, or negotiate price. Richie did the heavy lifting, while I decided which color my new car would be. (Hey, that's a big decision!) Thanks, Richie, for your customer service, your relationships with New England auto dealers, and your knowledge of new and used cars. I benefitted greatly from your expertise.

Car Buying is no longer a hassle... I talked to ABA / Richie Axelsen, told him my parameters, and a very short time later he found the exact car I wanted, I was given the choice of two different color interiors, and I was driving away with my new Rav-4... It was only about 2.5 hours from start to finish once he located the car! ABA did sooo much work behind the scene to get me a GREAT price and customer service! It was so easy for me... and I live 100 miles away. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this service... unbelievably excellent service!

"Richie at Auto Buying Assistant helped us recently with the purchase of our new car. We cannot say enough about the amount of time and money we saved by using his services. Not only did he find us the perfect car within a week of our first phone call, but he made the buying process as seamless as possible! After the sale he also assisted us in taking care of some minor details with the dealership. Pair all of that with his personalized service, best car buying experience ever!" ~The Cushings

Bill & Brady-Anne Cushing – Bath, Maine

I had several "must haves" for my new car and Richie found a vehicle that met all of my criteria in a short time frame and handled my request with great confidence and ease. The car was located in another state and Richie devoted an entire day driving me to and from the dealership, participating in the test drive, negotiating the price, completing the sales agreement, and weighing the pros and cons of purchasing a warranty based on my driving habits. I was able to purchase the vehicle under my bottomline price along with a few extras to help sweeten the deal. The nominal fee for service is well worth the amount of quality and time you will receive from Richie.

A couple of weeks after I had purchased the car, I noticed that the driver's side head lamp was not working properly. I contacted Richie about the problem and in less than 24 hours he had arranged with the dealership to cover the expense of the part and labor to be paid directly to a local servicer. He arranged for the appointment with the local servicer and was kind enough to include the cost of the loaner car. This example shows his level of commitment to me as a Auto Buying Assistant LLC customer beyond the business deal.

I was personally touched by the many stories he shared with me involving his work with elderly clients. Based on his years of work in this business, he was able to intervene on their behalf in turn preventing them from being financially exploited by ruthless car salesmen. I consider his line of work a form of social justice.

Richie is a combination of Captain Kirk, Mother Theresa, and the Lone Ranger. His enthusiam, energy and zest for life is contagious. He has extensive connections reaching far beyond the car and banking industries.

Got Richie? Well, what are you waiting for? Sit back, relax and enjoy your new ride!
