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 tomorrow they have messaged four other lots. One of them 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.

Next follow-up at 8:00 AM, quiet hours for the customer

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.

It answers the question. It never quotes a number.

Hours, address, whether you take trade-ins — it states what you have stated. Price, payment and what a car is worth stay with you, and that is not a setting.

Below is real output. If it reads better here than on your lot, this page is lying.

No setup fee and no contract — cancel any month. Both plans answer in the same minute, because there is only one speed and everybody gets it.
