Car Purchase Negotiation
Saved $4,200
The Story
AJ Stuyvenberg needed to buy a new car and wanted to get the best price possible. Instead of spending hours negotiating with dealers manually, he turned to Moltbot to automate the entire process. The goal was simple: save money without the hassle of traditional car negotiation. Moltbot was tasked with researching prices, contacting multiple dealers, and negotiating the best deal through email automation.
"My Moltbot searched Reddit for pricing data, contacted multiple dealers, and negotiated via email. It played hardball when dealers tried the usual tactics."

π§ How It Works
Moltbot used browser automation and email templates to contact dealers, research pricing data from Reddit and other sources, and negotiate using proven tactics.
1. Price Research
Moltbot scraped Reddit forums and car pricing websites to gather real-world pricing data for the target vehicle model.
Analyzed hundreds of user posts to understand what others were actually paying for the same car, including regional variations and dealer markups.
2. Dealer Contact
Using browser automation, Moltbot filled out contact forms on multiple dealership websites with a professionally written inquiry email.
Targeted 15+ dealers within a 100-mile radius, creating personalized emails for each that showed research and serious intent.
3. Negotiation Loop
When dealers responded with initial offers, Moltbot analyzed each counter-offer and deployed proven negotiation tactics.
Used strategies like mentioning competitors' lower prices, asking for additional discounts, and leveraging end-of-month quotas to get better deals.
4. Final Deal
After multiple rounds of back-and-forth negotiation, Moltbot secured the winning offer: $4,200 off the sticker price.
The final price was significantly below what most buyers were paying, demonstrating the power of AI-assisted negotiation.
