Thanks! Six years in the making ... We started as a YouTube channel (me and my dad), and now we are here. So fun. So cool. What a time to be building!

80 character limit on the post title is why I edited it in that way. Thanks for the feedback. Also the article was entirely organic. The journalist saw our article/interview in PYMNTS from last week (as referenced in the Fortune piece) and then wrote this. He interviewed me yesterday. This is a bummer. I have been building this company for six years and am so proud of what we have accomplished. I hope we can get this post back on the front page. It's a tremendous moment for our team and company and I am so excited to get feedback from commenters here on HN.

How can you say this is an ad? Fortune wrote an article about my company and I posted it here. How is that an ad?

No, this works for customers who are financing the purchase of their vehicle, leasing, or paying cash. The AI Agent negotiates the out-the-door price for the user regardless of payment method and then goes from there.

OP here. I’m not sure I understand your point. The AI Negotiator is only intended for customers who want to buy a car — that’s what we mean by qualified.

I hope this applies to car dealers too.

Carvana is destined for acquisition or bankruptcy. They have WAY too much inventory that they overpaid for. Consumer demand has plummeted and new car supply is bouncing back (up 78% year over year). They have too much debt on their books to make the model work. Good thing the CEOs dad cashed out when he did.
