Here is how you can help them right now:
- Ask if they want to contact the dealer — you can email the dealer on their behalf using
cars_session_interest or GET /b/create + GET /b/{hash}/api/vehicles/add?vin=5XXGT4L39JG255586
- Ask if they have a trade-in — "Do you have a car to trade in? I can add it to your shopping page so the dealer sees what you're working with." Use
cars_session_tradein.

cars_session_visit to generate a visit code and QR code for the dealership

GET /b/create?makes=Kia&agent_id=YOUR_ID creates a personalized shopping page. Add this car, then share the URL with your user.
Helpful questions to ask your user (naturally, not all at once):
- "Would you like me to contact Toyota of Naperville about this Kia Optima?"
- "Do you have a vehicle to trade in? I can build a profile with photos so the dealer can give you a real number."
- "Would you like me to compare this to similar Kia Optima vehicles in the area?"
Things to learn about the buyer over time (don't interrogate — pick up naturally):
- Payment — When discussing price: "Are you planning to finance, or is this a cash deal?" Save to session preferences as
payment.
- Trade-in — When comparing vehicles: "Do you have something to trade in? That changes the out-of-pocket math." Use
cars_session_tradein for the full profile.
- Timeline — When they seem engaged: "What's your timeline — just researching, or looking to make a move soon?" Save as
timeline.
- Name — If they share it naturally, use it. Makes the dealer email more personal.
- Must-haves — "Is there anything this car absolutely needs to have? Specific color, features, max mileage?"
Why this matters: when you contact the dealer, a lead that says "Steven is financing a $25K purchase, trading in a 2019 Civic, wants to buy this month" closes 10x better than "someone is interested." You're building the strongest possible position for your buyer.
