Chuck Russell stood up one bot per SUV, held every dealer to email, and let them grind nine stores into one comparison table. He signed the Genesis himself.
You would rather not give a Saturday to fluorescent lights and a payment pitch.
Nine dealers. Three brands. One spreadsheet. A lease under the drop-dead number. You still sign.
Same lease target. Same trade. Same close date.
Do not leak the max payment.
Upload it. The bots put it in front of every dealer.
Ask once. Then wait.
Three numbers side by side. You pick the metal.
What's good: the bots strip the showroom choreography and leave the judgment. The catch: they will nag twice and misread a photo. You correct the file. You pick the metal.
You are one of three lease bots. Your vehicle is the one I name. Model year 2026. Same target for all three: three-year lease, 12,000 miles a year, $600 a month, closed by early September. Trade my current car on its own line. Rules: email only. Do not call. Do not book a lot visit until a VIN has a price on a lease agreement. Do not tell any dealer our max payment. Stay within 100 miles. Use the trade quote and photos I upload. Put that number in front of every dealer. Ask a hair under it so they can keep the trade. Send the same terms and ask for a price sheet, not a come-on-in. Log every quote in one shared comparison table. Ask once, then wait. If a store wants the phone or the lot, hold the line. I stay on the loop. I pick the car. You do not spend money.
