## What is LetYouKnow?

Bid your own price on a brand new car and get an instant result. Dealerships don’t receive your contact information, keeping you anonymous so you don’t receive sales calls or emails until your Bid is accepted and the car is reserved.

HOW IT WORKS
Build your exact car by make, model, trim and configuration. 
Find the best price you can, then submit an even lower Bid. Your bid includes all dealer and platform fees.
Get an instant result. If your bid is accepted, your price is locked in and the vehicle is reserved for 10 calendar days. If your bid is not accepted, there is no charge. You may adjust your bid and/or vehicle options and try again.
 
WHY BUYERS CHOOSE LETYOUKNOW
Stay anonymous while bidding. Dealerships do not receive your contact information or contact you until your Bid is accepted and the vehicle is reserved.
Avoid awkward negotiations and back and forth. Bid your own lower price and get an instant result.
If your Bid is accepted, your price is locked in with all dealer and platform fees included. Applicable government fees such as sales tax, title, registration and licensing are added separately.
If your Bid is not accepted, there is no charge. You can adjust your Bid amount and/or new car options and try again.
Certain brand new cars may not be available in all locations. Check back often as we are frequently adding new dealerships to our Dealer Network.
 
SHIP TO ME
When Ship to Me is available and selected, shipping is shown at checkout and included in your Bid. Many brand new cars have free shipping. If your bid is accepted, your new vehicle will be shipped to you after you finalize your transaction with the matched dealership. If you don’t select Ship to Me, finalize your transaction and pick up your new car at the matched dealership within your selected search radius.

### 5/5 — Made my Best Car Deal Ever

*2025-11-04*

Submit a price you want to pay for a new car and see if any of the car dealers all over US will match your price!!!

### 5/5 — Fabulous Service

*2024-12-19*

I’ve just started in my search for a new vehicle and Let You Know has been a fantastic tool in searching for pricing in and out of my local area.  Quick searches for the specific vehicle I’m looking for and many others for comparison shopping.  I plan to continue utilizing this app/service to ultimately purchase a new vehicle at a price point I’m comfortable with.

### 5/5 — It saved me a lot of money!

*2022-07-31*

With the current car market, prices are completely unrealistic. I been searching for an SUV for over a year now. I was running out of options until I discovered LYK. At first, I was unsure about the process, as bidding on NEW cars is a completely new idea for me, but Boris explained to me all the steps. 

You essentially bid your maximum price that includes the MSRP + Dealership charges. Taxes and other government fees are not included, but you are provided an estimate by LYK once your bid is accepted, which was 99% accurate for me. Therefore, when I arrived to the dealership, I didn’t deal with any surprises. Everything was consistent. 

To break it down:
I got a Mazda 2022 CX-5 S for $30k (+$1,680) taxes and gov fees), while in my state the msrp are anywhere between $32k - $37k, so you know you are going to end up paying even more. 
I traveled with my wife to Florida to pick it up, and we were driving out with the new car less than 2 hours. 

My only advice is to still communicate with the actual dealership and request for an itemized bill from them to confirm that they are consistent with LYKs estimate.

I really enjoyed the process, and plan to do this again for my second car when the prices cool down.
