Locates.io is a blind dealer-to-dealer marketplace for new vehicles. Dealers list units or look for an exact build without seeing each other's names until both sign, and Locates.io runs the terms, signatures, settlement and freight. The platform fee is a transparent $199 per unit, one time, never monthly.
First 100 dealerships to complete 10 sales, buying or selling, lock in $99/unit for life.
Seller price, freight and the platform fee are itemized from the moment terms are finalized. The seller's name, the VIN and the exact address stay sealed until both dealers sign.

Selling is free. The buyer pays $199 per unit, one time, only when a trade happens (locked when the deal's terms are finalized, invoiced when both dealers have signed, and refunded if the deal is cancelled before pickup). There is no monthly fee, no listing fee and no contract. Freight is priced per load and shown before anyone signs.
