Background

About Walter Hansen

I love cars. But if you don’t, I bet I can help. I’ve been fascinated by them since I was a kid, where I’d pore over my dad’s collection of automotive brochures on various makes and models, then tag along to the showrooms to play with the buttons, features, and gizmos in all the new vehicles they had at the dealerships. I remember pestering a poor salesperson to show me how the power hardtop worked on a 1997 Mercedes-Benz SLK and sitting in the spacious backseat of an Audi A8L where my short outstretched legs couldn’t even touch the front seat. The little things were my big things. They still are. I love every step of this automotive process: searching for cars, buying them for the right price, reconditioning, driving, and then selling them with transparency.(And then doing that as many times as possible every month.) My career combines my love of all things automotive with my talent for process and data analysis — and here’s where I can help.
