Ask the blunt question. Get the plain answer.
Start with privacy, price, or the exact moment your name reaches a dealer.
Service
Is this legal?
You remain the buyer at every step. We provide buyer-side negotiation support. We never take title, handle your purchase money, sign documents, place deposits, or commit you to a deal.
Will dealers even talk to you?
Yes. Internet sales managers work with remote buyers every day. We present a specific, ready buyer and require itemized numbers in writing. If one dealer refuses, we move to the next.
Is OTDWolf an AI? Who actually talks to the dealer?
AI and market data do the analysis: they audit your quote and set the target out-the-door price. A human negotiator does every round with the dealer. No bot ever emails or calls a dealer on your behalf.
Who is behind OTDWolf?
A finance tech lead who analyzes data for a living. He got fed up with the dealer playbook, used real market data to take $4,500 off his own car, ran the same play for friends, and turned it into OTDWolf. The full story is on the About page.
How long does it take?
Most negotiations take three to five days. Rare inventory, factory orders, missing information, or a dealer changing availability can add time.
What if I already have a quote?
Perfect. That is our starting line. Send the full written quote, including the vehicle, every fee, taxes, registration, and out-the-door total.
Privacy
Do you share my info with dealers?
We never sell your data or turn you into a dealer lead. We negotiate through a dedicated email and number. A dealer receives only the transaction details you approve, including your name when you choose a deal and are ready to sign.
What should I remove from an uploaded quote?
Redact Social Security numbers, driver-license numbers, bank or card details, account numbers, and signatures. We only need the vehicle, itemized charges, location, and out-the-door total.
Can you accept a deal for me?
No. You approve the vehicle, dealer, price, financing, and every signature. We cannot bind you to a purchase or lease.
Cars
Do you negotiate used cars?
Yes. We negotiate price with an independent inspection contingency. We can point you toward inspectors, but the inspector—not OTDWolf—is responsible for the inspection findings.
What about leases?
Yes. We separate the vehicle price, money factor, residual, incentives, acquisition fee, drive-off amount, and mileage. A low payment without those numbers is not a complete lease quote.
Can you help with my trade-in?
Yes. First, get independent written offers from buyers such as CarMax or Carvana. That becomes your floor. Then we keep the trade value separate from the new-car price until both are clear.
Do I need financing first?
A credit-union or bank preapproval helps. It gives you an APR ceiling and stops the dealer from hiding price inside the payment. You can still use dealer financing if it is truly better.
Money
How is the guarantee measured?
Savings equals your best verified comparable written out-the-door quote before OTDWolf, minus the final comparable out-the-door price we secure. If verified savings are under $1,200, the $399 service fee is refunded.
What counts as the same deal?
The same VIN or agreed equivalent, with the same rebates, financing assumptions, taxes, registration, transport, add-ons, and trade-in treatment. Changing the trim, incentives, loan, or trade can change the comparison.
Are taxes and registration negotiable?
Government charges generally are not. Dealer add-ons, markups, selling price, and some dealer-controlled fees are. Our analysis is an estimate—not legal or tax advice—and depends on complete quote details.
States
What cars and states do you serve?
New and used vehicles in all 50 states, including California and New York.
