How does Motrix work?

You tell Motrix the car you want. We contact multiple dealers for you — by email, voicemail and web form — strip every junk fee, and negotiate your out-the-door price in writing. You approve the final number and sign. You never sit across from a salesperson.

What does Motrix cost, and when do I pay?

$0 upfront. You only pay when Motrix lands you a deal you actually sign — $399 for the Deal tier (done-for-you), $799 for Pro (a dedicated human on your deal), or $1,499 for founder-led Concierge. If it does not close a deal you sign, you pay nothing.

Do I have to talk to the dealer at all?

Never. Motrix handles all communication. The only thing you sign is the final contract.

How long does it take?

It is dealer-paced. Across Motrix deals to date the median first written quote arrives in about three days, and deals close over the following one to four weeks. Outreach starts right after your brief is filed and every dealer is worked in parallel.

Does this work for used cars too?

Yes. Motrix works for new, used, and CPO vehicles. Used car negotiations use different tactics — we focus on vehicle history, condition-based pricing, and market comparables rather than MSRP.

What if I have a trade-in?

Enter your license plate number in the brief. We automatically pull your vehicle's value from KBB, Carvana, and CarMax. We negotiate your new car price first, then your trade separately.

Is Motrix a car broker?

No. Motrix is a negotiation facilitation service. We're not a licensed dealer or broker — we're an AI agent that negotiates on your behalf. You make every final decision.

What does Motrix actually do?

Motrix is an autonomous AI agent that contacts car dealers on your behalf and negotiates the entire deal. You submit a brief about the vehicle you want, and the agent handles every dealer interaction — emails, SMS, fee disputes, price counter-offers — until it surfaces a final deal for you to review and sign. You never have to talk to a dealer.

Is Motrix a car broker or dealer?

No. Motrix is a negotiation facilitation service. We're not a licensed dealer or broker. We act as an AI agent representing the buyer's interests. The buyer makes every final decision and signs the contract directly with the dealer.

How does $0 until you sign actually work?

On every paid tier (Deal $399, Pro $799, Concierge $1,499), you pay nothing upfront. The fee only applies if you choose to sign the contract Motrix brings back. If we can't find a deal that works, you pay nothing. 30-minute money-back window after purchase for any reason.

Can I use Motrix for used cars?

Yes. Motrix handles new, used, certified pre-owned, and lease deals. The fee structures and negotiation tactics adapt to the vehicle type — the brief flow asks which condition you want.

What's in the Concierge tier?

Concierge is founder-led negotiation. Founder Jimmy Sturdivent personally handles every step from your first inquiry to your signed contract, with AI agents working alongside. Includes trade-in coordination, financing review, insurance shopping, and delivery logistics. 24-hour SLA on every touchpoint. Concierge is $1,499 and is the one tier paid to start, because the founder personally runs it.

The Best Time to Buy a Car in 2026 (Data-Backed)

Timing Is Worth $500-$2,000

The best negotiator in the world will still overpay if they buy at the wrong time. Dealer incentives, inventory levels, and sales quotas all fluctuate throughout the year — and they directly impact how much room a dealer has to negotiate.

Best Months

December — Dealers are desperate to hit year-end quotas. Manufacturers offer maximum incentives. This is consistently the cheapest month to buy.

October-November — New model year vehicles are arriving. Dealers need to clear current-year inventory and will discount heavily.

January — Dealers are clearing holiday leftovers and setting the tone for the new year. Still good deals to be found.

End of any quarter (March, June, September) — Dealers and salespeople have quarterly bonuses. The last 3-5 days of any quarter are prime negotiation time.

Best Days

Monday-Wednesday — Dealerships are slowest early in the week. Salespeople need deals, and you'll get more attention and better prices.

Last day of the month — Salespeople who are one deal short of a monthly bonus will take a bad deal to hit their number. This is real and significant.

Best Time of Day

2-3 hours before closing — No salesperson wants to stay late. If you're the last customer and you have a reasonable offer on the table, they'll often take it to go home.

Worst Times to Buy

Saturday afternoon — Maximum traffic, minimum negotiating leverage. The dealer doesn't need your deal.

First week of a new model launch — Zero discounts, dealer markups, and long wait times.

Tax refund season (February-March) — Everyone is buying. Demand is high. Dealers have no reason to discount.

The Incentive Calendar

Manufacturers run incentive programs monthly. These can include: - Cash rebates ($500-$5,000 off) - Subsidized financing (0% APR for 60 months) - Lease specials (lower money factors)

Check manufacturer websites or use Motrix's Deep Scan to see current incentives for any vehicle.

Whatever month it is, Motrix's AI agents know the current incentives and use them as leverage. Every deal starts with real-time market intelligence.

§ HAND IT OFF

Stop negotiating. Start winning.

Motrix AI agents fight every fee and get you the lowest price — you never talk to the dealer.
