80 character limit on the post title is why I edited it in that way. Thanks for the feedback. Also the article was entirely organic. The journalist saw our article/interview in PYMNTS from last week (as referenced in the Fortune piece)

How can you say this is an ad? Fortune wrote an article about my company and I posted it here. How is that an ad?

No, this works for customers who are financing the purchase of their vehicle, leasing, or paying cash. The AI Agent negotiates the out-the-door price for the user regardless of payment method and then goes from there.

OP here. I’m not sure I understand your point. The AI Negotiator is only intended for customers who want to buy a car — that’s what we mean by qualified.

Carvana is destined for acquisition or bankruptcy. They have WAY too much inventory that they overpaid for. Consumer demand has plummeted and new car supply is bouncing back (up 78% year over year). They have too much debt on their books to

Let me be clear; we should move away from Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail price and go towards Manufacturers Retail Price. Just make it that the price is the price, and then the dealers can become glorified delivery centers/showrooms an

And to be clear, consumers shouldn't have to negotiate for hours to try and get a "fair" price during "normal" market conditions. The current "markup" phenomenon is the same as the prior experience (pre-pa

Thank you for the kind words. We have so much more work to do! Trying to innovate in this industry is TOUGH. All of the incumbent business models are predicated on information asymmetry. We're having fun changing the way things work an

Great point (I’m the Zach Shefska referenced in the article), and have been working in this space to advocate for consumers. Two things: 1) new FTC proposed rules (which are open for public comment!) would ban the practice of “surprise” add

A lot of folks bought used cars at ridiculously high prices (over original MSRP when sold new in some cases). Banks approved them for those loans, and when the market corrects and used values come back in line (ie stop appreciating and depr

The ripple effects from the chip shortage will be felt for years … nearly all new cars are already “spoken for” and consumers will still be paying MSRP & MSRP+ for 12-18 months. What happens to used car prices over the coming 2-3 years

I'm sorry you had that experience. I've helped dozens of people buy cars from them and they are notorious for this. It's a shame, most dealers do this crap. It's ridiculous.
