Sourcing
Scout
Finds the cars worth buying.
- Searches private-party marketplace listings around your ZIP.
- Runs scans on its own and flags cars priced under market.
- Hands the promising ones to the Appraiser.
The AI operating system for used-car dealers
CarCortex finds cars worth buying, values them against the market and answers your buyers by email, text and phone. You set what it spends each day and approve every message it sends to sellers.
How it works
From the first listing to the test drive
Three agents do the legwork, one for each step, and every action they take is logged.
- 01Scout
Source
Scout searches private-party marketplace listings around your ZIP. Unattended scans run on a schedule and flag cars priced under market.
- 02Appraiser
Appraise
The Appraiser decodes the VIN, checks recalls and compares the car against market data. You get the buy price, resale, reconditioning, days to sell and margin, with its reasoning and a 0-100 deal score.
- 03Concierge
Sell
The Concierge answers your buyers by email, text and phone from the facts on your listed cars. It books test drives into your CarCortex calendar and keeps every lead in one inbox.
Agents
Four agents, one job each
Each does one part of the work, from finding a car worth buying to answering the buyer who wants it, and reports to you.
- Valuation
Appraiser
Tells you what a car is worth to you.
- Decodes the VIN and checks recalls.
- Compares the car with market data and estimates the buy price, reconditioning, resale, days to sell and margin.
- Shows its reasoning and a confidence, and scores the deal from 0 to 100.
- Grades every car you sell against its purchase valuation and corrects its own bias.
- Buyers
Concierge
Answers your buyers. Never makes the first call or text.
- Replies by email, text or phone, on the channel the buyer used, from the facts on your listed cars.
- Puts every lead in one inbox.
- Books test drives into your calendar within your business hours, and offers the nearest open times when one is taken.
- Notes financing interest in the buyer's own words and hands it to you.
- Sellers
Closer
Reaches the sellers of the cars you want.
- Contacts sellers by email, text or voice call.
