What they did

He is shopping for a certified pre-owned Lexus TX 500h, so he built a Grok Bot to do the digging. It finds CPO cars matching his model, mileage, area and colors, compares dealer prices and only pings him when something changes. It has already caught a $3,111 price drop. He shared the bot as a free template.
