Step 1
Find the exact dealer stock number
Use the stock number shown on the dealer website, window sticker, listing, or inventory record. Include the dealership name and safe vehicle details when available so the intended unit is clear.

Make an Offer by Dealer Stock Number
See a dealer vehicle you want? Use the stock number to create a private, vehicle-specific offer with the amount and terms up front, then let the dealership decide whether the opportunity fits.
The simple idea
The stock number gives the offer a precise target. OpenOffer makes the buyer's first move clear and organized while the dealership keeps full 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.

How it works
Step 2
Set your amount and buying terms
Add the offer amount, timing, financing or cash posture, trade-in status if relevant, inspection expectations, and any conditions that affect the deal.
Step 3
Create the vehicle-specific offer lane
OpenOffer organizes the buyer's offer around that exact inventory unit. It does not change the dealer's pricing authority, policies, lender requirements, taxes, fees, or legal obligations.
Step 4
Let the dealership evaluate the opportunity
An authorized dealer participant can ignore, decline, negotiate, counter, or accept subject to inventory status and dealership approval. The stock number does not guarantee that the vehicle is still available.
Step 5
Finish through the dealer's required process
If both sides want to proceed, complete identity, financing, trade, condition, title, registration, insurance, taxes, fees, signatures, and delivery requirements through the appropriate dealer and provider workflow.
Important boundaries
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.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dealer stock number?
It is the dealership's internal identifier for a specific inventory unit. It can help OpenOffer and the dealership distinguish the exact vehicle the buyer wants to pursue.
Does a stock-number offer bypass the salesperson or dealership?
No. The dealership remains in control of inventory, pricing authority, staffing, financing, documentation, fees, and approval. OpenOffer creates an offer opportunity, not a bypass around dealer requirements.
Is the advertised vehicle guaranteed to be available?
No. Inventory can be sold, reserved, transferred, repriced, or removed. The dealer must confirm the current vehicle, availability, condition, and terms.
Can the dealer counter my offer?
Yes. An authorized dealer participant can ignore, decline, ask questions, negotiate, counter, or accept subject to dealership policy and the real transaction requirements.
