You build a relationship with one and tell them what you want. You keep looking in the meantime. But they have resources and visibility that you don't. They look for your car, tell you when they find it, and negotiate a deal. They will expect as slice of the transaction but if you are particular about something like color it will be the quickest way to your end goal. And really, what's $5k on a $50k car? Sure money is money, but if you want something other than silver you might have to pay to play.

This is really good advise. If you can find a honest dealer/broker that has a lot of connections and you are patient they can save you money. I have never used one for cars. But I have a broker I use for equipment. He charges a flat $5k per deal. It takes him 6 months on average to find the right deal,(model, condition, maintenance records, low hours), but I usually save 20% verses auction or other dealer prices.
