Have us contact these dealers

Three quick steps, then your messages start.

Local pricing and the Trade-in hub stay free. Signing up and paying only happen here, when you want us to email dealers for you. After this you get your send queue and your inbox.

1Your details

This is what dealers see on your messages.

Your own name or a name you choose.

We give dealers your city and ZIP so their tax figure is right. No street address is needed.

2Protect your email

Pick the address dealers will email.

We never touch your main email. Dealers only ever see the address you pick here, and our name never appears in your messages.

3Pick a package Example pricing

One flat fee, paid upfront. No commission from the seller, ever. These prices are examples only, not decided.

What counts as an inquiry: one dealer contacted about one vehicle. Contacting the 10 dealers you picked for this truck uses 10 inquiries.

Paid upfront, before any dealer is contacted.

Mock only. No payment is taken.

Your sale-price target

How hard should we push?

Pick a target. It's the price we work toward with every dealer.

We never tell dealers your target up front. It's the number we counter with once they send a price.

Each tier is placed from the local advertised price range for this truck. How often each one works isn't measured yet. That will come from real dealer replies, so we don't show odds here.

How the targets were set

  • We searched ZIP 12345 for the same configuration: 2026 F-150 XL Regular Cab 4x2.
  • Advertised prices for that configuration run about $36,400 to $38,900. The three tiers are placed inside that range: Conservative near the top, Moderate near the middle, Aggressive near the bottom.
  • Your target is Moderate, $37,500 sale price. Tax and tag are added on top, figured for your city and ZIP once you share them (the example customer is in Sampletown, FL 12345).
  • Florida does not publish what buyers actually paid by VIN, so the target is built from advertised prices.

Sample figures. In the real service, which incentives apply is confirmed with each dealer in writing.

Your outgoing messages

Your messages send on their own, unless you step in.

Every first message is written fresh for that dealer and waits in a queue for about 30 minutes. Read it, pause it, edit it, or send it now. If you do nothing, it goes out when the timer runs out.

Know what your trade is worth before anyone asks.

Research your trade here and land on a target value. Keep it separate from the purchase: negotiate the price of the new vehicle first, then the trade. Dealers don't hear about your trade from us until you decide to bring it up.

Your trade

In this mock the example numbers below stay the same when you change these details. Typing your own instant offers does update your floor and the target band.

Step 1

Your floor: instant offers

Get free instant offers online. The best one is your floor: money you can walk away with no matter what a dealer says. Type each offer in as you get it.

Step 2

Comparable listings near you Example

Similar cars for sale at dealers near your ZIP. These are retail asking prices, which include the dealer's reconditioning and profit, so treat them as a ceiling, not your trade value.

ListingMilesAsking

Step 3

Wholesale / auction range Example

What dealers typically pay for a car like yours at auction. Trade offers usually land near this range, because that's what the dealer could buy the same car for.

About this data: real auction prices (like Manheim) are generally only available to licensed dealers. Valuation guides are paid data sources. The real product would need to license them before showing real numbers here.

Your suggested target trade value Example

Keep the trade separate from the price

  • Get the written sale price on the new vehicle first. Bring up the trade only after that.
  • Compare any trade offer to your best instant offer, not to the price of the new vehicle.
  • Watch for a higher trade offer paired with a higher sale price. Look at each number on its own.
  • If the dealer's trade offer is below your floor, you can sell to the instant-offer buyer instead.
