Premise: Buyer gets transparent deal, Dealers gets confirmed deposit backed buyers (no tire kickers)
Working on online platform that kills the dealership games and tricks, essentially it's a 3 steps process:
Step 1: Car buyer puts their car specs, target price and terms (finance /lease) and how much they want for their trade in (if they have one) and puts a refundable deposit in the online platform. Zero cost to buyer
Step 2: Registered Dealers in the area (50km radius) submit final offers on dealership letterheads or dealer sheets and pics of the car to the buyer in a transparent upfront way. Gets charged a 1% fee IF the buyer accepts the offer.
Step 3: If the buyer likes the offer, they accept , deposit is transferred to dealer and buyer walks in with the transparent upfront deal sheet and signs and walks away.
No games, no negotiations, no 4 hour Saturday afternoon wasted, no drama, no regrets.
My question to you: Would you use this platform if it existed? Poke holes at it - what's missing? What features would you like? What's wrong with it ?
