Your lot is shut. The lead came in anyway.

It is 9:14 on a Tuesday night and someone has just asked about the Silverado. By the time you read it tomorrow they have messaged four other lots, and one of those answered at 9:15.

do you take trade-ins at all?

Riverside Motors21:14:48answered in 41s

Yes, we take trade-ins — we appraise in person, so bring it by any time we're open (Mon-Fri 9-7, Sat 9-5). Want to swing by and check out the Civic EX (stock A4471) while you're at it?

Customer21:21:02

do you have service records for it?

Riverside Motors21:21:40answered in 38s

I don't have the service records for the Civic (stock A4471) in front of me, but I can have someone pull them up. What's the best number to reach you at, or feel free to call us at (512) 555-0100.

What happens in those forty-one seconds.

  1. 21:14:07

    AutoTrader emails you. It emails us at the same moment — nothing is redirected and nothing is intercepted. You keep every notification you already get.

  2. 21:14:09

    We read it. Their name, the car, the stock number, and the question they actually asked. Not a template match.

  3. 21:14:48

    They get an answer. The moment they write back it stops being ours and becomes yours.

Setup is one email address added to the sites you already advertise on. Nothing to migrate, nothing to install, and you can watch it work on a lead you forward yourself before you connect anything at all.

It answers the question. It never quotes a number.

Hours, address, whether you take trade-ins — those are yours to state, so it states them. Price, payment, approval and what a car is worth stay with you. That is not a setting you can switch off; every message is checked before it leaves.

What is below is real output run against those checks. If it ever reads better here than it does on your lot, this page is lying.

Priced on leads, not seats.

PlanLeads a monthPer month
Starterup to 100$199
Standardup to 300$349
Volumeno limit$649

No setup fee and no contract. Every plan answers in the same minute — the price is about how many leads you get, not how fast we are.

The next one lands tonight.
