What it does
Car Dealer Lead Responder is a free Grok bot template. Free Grok Bot for independent car dealers: drafts fast replies to every Marketplace, CarGurus, Cars.com and website lead and follows up until they visit.
Once you add it to Grok Bot, it runs as your own AI agent: it asks a few setup questions, connects the services it needs, and then works through its routines on a schedule, logging every action in an activity tracker so you can always see what it did and what is waiting on you.
Who it's for
Independent used-car dealers and small dealerships without a big BDC team.
No coding is required. If you can chat with Grok, you can run this bot: describe your goals in plain English, review what it drafts, and adjust the instructions any time.

FAQ
Does it reply to buyers automatically?
Only if you set a written standing rule for first replies. Otherwise every message is a draft you approve, and it stops right away when a buyer says stop.
Will it quote prices or financing?
It quotes only the prices and details you give it and never promises approvals, rates or payments. Financing questions go to your finance manager.
Which lead sources does it handle?
Facebook Marketplace, CarGurus, Cars.com, AutoTrader, your website forms and missed-call notices: any inbox or portal you can open in a browser.
Do I need a CRM?
No. It keeps a simple lead board and inventory list in its workspace. If you already use a dealer CRM, it can read it or work from exports.
Will it act without asking me?
No. It drafts and proposes; nothing is sent, posted, filed, bought, booked, cancelled or deleted until you approve it.
Is my data shared anywhere?
No. Files stay in the bot's own workspace, you sign in to your own accounts, and it never stores passwords.
