CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

What is Open lot mode on OffLot?

Open lot mode is a phone-friendly checklist on every OffLot vehicle page, under "At the dealership?" It walks you through matching the VIN, doing a walk-around, checking tires, doing a cold start, test-driving your real route, and trying your car seats and cargo. It also lists questions to ask, like the out-the-door price in writing, government versus dealer fees, removable add-ons, open recalls, remaining warranty and an independent inspection.

General information, not legal or financial advice; rules vary by state and lender.
