OpenOfferAutosYes. OpenOffer is designed so a buyer can identify a specific dealer vehicle and put an offer and terms first, before beginning a traditional sales conversation.
Yes. You can create a specific offer opportunity before starting a traditional dealer conversation. The dealer still decides whether to engage and retains control of availability, pricing, financing, fees, disclosures, documentation, and acceptance.
OpenOffer creates a direct-offer lane around a specific dealer vehicle. It gives the buyer a clear first move while the dealership retains complete control over inventory, pricing authority, financing, fees, documentation, and acceptance.
OpenOffer creates a private, vehicle-specific offer lane. It does not promise that an owner or dealer will respond, negotiate, accept an offer, allow an inspection or test drive, release contact information, or complete a sale.
If you work with a dealership, opt in here. We send one confirmation email first. Your address does not become eligible for dealer marketing until you confirm it.
Use the dealer stock number, dealership name, VIN when publicly available, and other safe vehicle details to distinguish the intended unit. Dealer inventory changes quickly, so the dealer must still confirm current availability.
State the amount, timing, cash or financing posture, trade-in status if any, inspection expectations, pickup or delivery needs, and the main conditions that matter.
OpenOffer organizes the buyer's proposal around one vehicle and one set of terms. This can let the offer come first without pretending the dealer has already agreed to sell at that price.
The dealership can ignore, decline, ask questions, negotiate, counter, or accept subject to current inventory, management authority, financing, fees, taxes, documentation, and applicable law.
If both sides proceed, the transaction may still require identity, credit or financing approval, trade appraisal, condition review, title and lien handling, insurance, taxes, registration, disclosures, signatures, and delivery documents.
A plate or dealer stock number identifies a vehicle opportunity inside the platform; it is not a promise that OpenOffer can identify or contact a private owner from motor-vehicle records. Ownership, dealer authority, vehicle condition, title, liens, registration, inspections, taxes, financing, insurance, and applicable law must still be handled through the appropriate real-world process.
OpenOffer organizes the offer opportunity. Vehicle condition, title, history, dealer disclosures, financing, registration, and other transaction requirements still depend on authoritative records and the parties or providers involved.
FTC advises buyers to research the vehicle and dealer, get out-the-door prices in writing, review the Buyers Guide, get promises in writing, consider an independent inspection, and obtain a vehicle history report.
NHTSA provides an official VIN decoding resource that can help verify vehicle attributes from the VIN. A VIN decode is not proof of ownership, title status, or current dealer availability.
Yes. You can create a vehicle-specific offer opportunity first. OpenOffer lets the numbers and terms lead, but the dealer still has complete control over whether to respond, whether the vehicle is available, and whether the offer is acceptable.
No. The dealership remains free to ignore, decline, negotiate, counter, or accept. OpenOffer does not create a binding sale by itself or override dealer policies, authority limits, financing requirements, fees, disclosures, or law.
A stock number can identify the intended inventory unit inside the OpenOffer workflow. It does not prove the vehicle is still available or that a particular employee has authority to accept the offer.
Yes, the buyer can state the intended financing or trade posture. Final financing approval, trade value, lender conditions, fees, taxes, disclosures, and documents remain subject to the dealer and applicable providers.
Inventory is not reserved merely because an OpenOffer opportunity exists. The dealer must confirm that the vehicle remains available and may offer a different unit or decline the opportunity.
Confirm the vehicle itself, current availability, condition, warranty or as-is terms, written pricing, fees, title and lien status, recalls, financing terms if any, insurance, taxes, registration, and the final sale documents before completing the purchase.
