# Car purchase negotiation

OpenClaw researched Palisade prices, contacted nearby dealers, and played their quotes against each other by email for AJ Stuyvenberg.

Result: The agent negotiated a $4,200 dealer discount, bringing the car to about $56k, and the buyer never visited a showroom.

## How it was set up

OpenClaw on an always-on machine with Gmail and browser access. A cron job checked email every few minutes and sent each dealer the lowest competing quote.

## Worth knowing

The agent once sent a message to the wrong dealer, and the buyer handled the credit application and pickup himself.

## Prompt

```text
Research typical prices for [car model and trim] in [region]. Find dealer inventory within [distance] of [city] matching [spec]. Contact each dealer for a quote, then send each one the lowest competing offer and ask them to beat it.
```
