“Hi Sam,
Great. I'd like to move forward. Before I come in, please confirm by email:
• Out-the-door total: [amount]
• VIN / stock number: [number]
• No add-ons beyond what's listed in your quote
I'll bring this email with me. If everything matches, I'm ready to sign.
Thank you,
Jordan”
At the dealership
- Bring the email, printed or on your phone.
- Check the buyer's order against it line by line before you sign.
- If a new fee or add-on appears, ask them to remove it or honor the confirmed total.
- If they won't, it is fine to thank them and leave.
The Car Kit writes this email with your car and dealer, plus the out-the-door quote request, the ask to beat the best quote, add-on removal and a separate trade-in email. One-time $19, 14-day refund.

Why confirm a car deal by email before going to the dealer?
A written confirmation of the out-the-door total, the VIN and the add-ons gives you something to point to if the numbers change at the desk.
What should the confirmation email include?
The out-the-door total, the VIN or stock number, and a line saying no add-ons beyond what is in the quote.
What if the price is different when I arrive?
Show the email, ask them to honor it, and be ready to walk away politely if they won't.
