1

Choose your exact car

Brand, model, variant, colour, city must all be specified before a room opens. No vague enquiries.

2

Pay the refundable commitment fee (₹1,999)

This signals verified intent to the dealer network. The fee is fully refundable if no suitable offer is received, if you withdraw, or under other qualifying conditions. It is not a booking amount.

3

Closed Virtual Offer Room opens

CarBounty invites up to 3 authorised dealers for your brand in your city. Each receives your car configuration but not your identity.

4

Dealers submit private offers

Each dealer independently submits an offer: ex-showroom price, any accessories, finance options. No dealer sees the other's offer.

5

You compare and select

You see all offers side by side. Dealers are identified only by a band — not by name — until you select one. Once you select, that dealer receives your contact.

6

CarBounty PDI

Before delivery, a CarBounty representative visits the showroom and inspects the car against a structured checklist. You receive a written report.

7

Delivery

You proceed to the dealership with a written PDI report in hand.

Dealer journey

Five steps. Fees only on outcomes.

No subscription, no monthly fee. The Wallet moves only when something real happens.

1

You're invited

CarBounty sends an invitation with the buyer's car configuration. You see model, variant, colour, city — not the buyer's identity.

2

Accept the room

You accept the invitation into the Closed Virtual Offer Room. A room-entry fee is debited from your CarBounty Wallet.

3

Submit your private offer

You submit your price, any accessories, finance terms. Your offer is sealed. No other dealer can see it.

4

Buyer selects you

If the buyer selects your offer, your Wallet is debited a verified buyer fee and the buyer's contact is revealed to you.

5

Sale closes → success fee

When the GST-verified invoice is confirmed, a success fee is debited. If the sale doesn't close, nothing more is charged.
