UNITED STATES / YOUR NEXT VEHICLE

Car buying help for your U.S. dealer negotiation.

SHFTR helps organize the vehicle search, compare dealer offers and negotiate the full transaction. Tell us the state where you are buying so we can review service eligibility and the details that matter to your deal.

Start with a written out-the-door quote

Compare the same vehicle, equipment and purchase method. Ask for selling price, dealer discount, manufacturer incentives, dealer charges and the applicable tax and registration costs as separate lines. Our dealer quote checklist gives you a consistent comparison.

Check offers against your location

U.S. manufacturer programs may require your ZIP code, a qualifying vehicle or a particular financing method. The U.S. incentives directory is a starting point for research; the dealer must confirm local availability, program dates and eligibility.

Keep the financing and trade-in independent

Review the APR, amount financed, term and total repayment. Put your trade-in allowance beside the current loan payoff to see the equity or shortfall. Our financing and trade-in guide explains how to keep those numbers visible.

From application to purpose call

  1. Submit your desired make, model, year or year range, and state.
  2. We confirm whether we can provide the requested service and arrange your 15-minute purpose call.
  3. We begin within 48 hours of confirmation, assess the market and aim to finish within 14 days, subject to vehicle availability and market conditions.

Calls are available 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Pacific, including weekends. A preferred time is a request, not a confirmed appointment. Vehicle purchases are completed with the dealer, and your lender decides financing approval.
