Outcome
Isaiah Crossman, a salesperson, started shopping a few days before the end of the month, when dealers chasing monthly targets are most motivated. After a test drive and a benchmark price from the nearest dealer, Crossman had ChatGPT list the 25 closest dealerships with links to their contact forms and draft one message: driven it, ready to buy, this spec and these colours, send your best out-the-door price. Sending it to all 25 took about 7 minutes. Over about 2 hours of calls across a few days, a general manager 40 minutes away made a same-day deal: $7,000 less than one dealer's earlier offer and $2,100 less than the next lowest.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to. Goal: Help me get competing out-the-door quotes for the car I want from every dealer within reach. Fill in before running: - The car, trim and options I want: [SPEC] - Colours I'd accept: [COLOURS] - My location and how far I'll travel: [LOCATION / DISTANCE] You're not my accountant or financial adviser. Show your working, label estimates as estimates, and tell me which points a professional or the official source should confirm. Rules: - List the nearest dealers for this brand with a link to each one's contact form. - Draft one short message saying I've test-driven it, I'm ready to buy and want an itemised out-the-door price. - Make a table to track each dealer's reply, price and add-ons. - Remind me to compare total cost, not monthly payments, and to check any trade-in offer separately online. - Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: A dealer list with contact links, the message to send and a tracking table. You'll know it worked when: I buy the car for well under the first price I was quoted.
