How it works
How a deal runs, step by step
Carwright is a service for Florida car buyers. Through it, you ask the dealers that list your car for a written out-the-door price: the total to drive it away. Carwright never buys the car, holds your money or calls a dealer. Every message is one you approved.
The steps
- You name the car and the Florida ZIP where you will register it.
- We find the stores whose listings show it, within the distance you pick. Twenty to thirty, where enough have it.
- Each gets the same short request, with your car filled in, for its out-the-door price in writing.
- You read every email, follow-ups included, and approve them with one tap. Nothing goes without it.
- Dealers reply to an address set up for your deal. We line up the prices.
- You can ask the others to beat the lowest price, and your nearest store to match it. You approve each note first.
- You pick one and buy from that dealer yourself.
- Before you sign, you upload the buyer's order, the dealer's sale summary. Delete your name, address and any account numbers from it first, so the words are gone, not just covered. We compare every line with the written price.
Some dealers will not answer in writing; your deal page shows which. The clock is ten business days from approving your first requests. If fewer than three stores send a written price that counts by then, your fee comes back in full.
Emails go to dealers Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern, to a set number of stores a day. One approved at night waits for the next morning they go out.
Why in writing
A price said across a sales desk can change by the time the paperwork prints. A written price is a record you can hold up next to another dealer's. It is not a contract. Carwright never gives a dealer your phone number, so the asking stays in writing.
Why only buyers pay
The fee is $99 per vehicle, paid once, before any dealer gets an email. A service paid by dealers would owe them. No dealer pays us to steer you.
