@ChrisVitale, @JohnQuinn Following along with the conversation around changing the way car buyers shop, and the way dealers sell, I've been working on an idea for a software platform that would allow shoppers and dealers to create test drive appointments for both delivery (remote / Carvana style) and in-store (Carmax).  Shoppers would receive text and email notifications confirming appointments, and receive notifications when the vehicle was en route to their location.

It would be all about getting car shoppers into the dealer's pipeline earlier, with greater clarity (have them upload their drivers license, etc), and while giving the shoppers greater control and clarity over the buying process.

I know a lot of dealers focus on adding value for their customers, versus competing soley on price. This tool would allow dealers to roll out the red carpet, so to speak, for every customer. Example mockup below.

Is this a technology you guys would use. Do you see a need for something like this?
