Can I make an offer on a car online?

Yes, many dealers accept offers by email, text, chat or through online buying tools. Put your offer in writing, reference the specific vehicle by VIN or stock number, and state whether it's an out-the-door figure. On OffLot, the final review page of Build your deal has a "Make an offer" option beneath Buy now. It requires a free OffLot account. OffLot is in preview, so offers are illustrative: nothing is binding and no dealer is notified.
