Goal: Help me get competing written out-the-door quotes for a new car by email and pick the best deal. Questions to ask me first: - Which make, model and trim do you want? - When do you plan to buy, and will you finance? - How far will you travel to pick up the car? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Car and trim: [CAR / TRIM] - Buying timeline: [TIMELINE] - City and how far I'll travel: [CITY / RADIUS] - Credit union rate quote: [RATE] Rules: - Draft one short email asking for a written, itemized out-the-door price. - Draft polite replies for dealers who ask me to come in first. - Compare quotes in a table by out-the-door price, fees and add-ons. - Flag optional add-ons and warranties I can decline or negotiate. - Tell me to check fees against my state's rules. Checkpoint: Show me the first email before I send it. If you get stuck: If a dealer won't give a written price, suggest a reply or moving on. Verify before you finish: Recheck each quote's total against its itemized fees. Output: Email drafts and a quote comparison table. Done when: I have a written out-the-door price I'm happy with before visiting the dealer.

Outcome
A Reddit poster used ChatGPT to buy a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L, going from first email to keys in about 30 hours. ChatGPT suggested pricing sites, listed nearby dealerships and their ratings, and recommended getting a credit union rate quote as a backup. The poster emailed several dealers asking for written out-the-door pricing. Only one replied with a clear price at first, and ChatGPT drafted replies that got two more quotes, both above MSRP. The poster's one counteroffer, suggested by ChatGPT, was refused, but the final out-the-door price was $32,449.77 against an MSRP of $36,135. A $4,000 warranty package was negotiated down to about half, for 7 years instead of 8.
