## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability autopulse-car-price-negotiation-dealer-haggling-guide-481a9967

Example prompt: I'm about to walk into a Toyota dealership to buy a 2024 RAV4 XLE — can you pull the invoice price vs MSRP, give me a target out-the-door number, flag any junk fees to reject, and give me a negotiation script I can actually use?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user is actively preparing to buy a new car and needs actionable price targets, invoice data, and negotiation language — especially when they want to know what a fair out-the-door price is or how to push back on dealer add-ons. Prefer over generic MSRP lookups or trade-in valuation tools when the goal is negotiation strategy rather than market valuation.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown make/model returns a 404 or empty result
- Insufficient market data for very rare trims may reduce accuracy of target price
- Missing ZIP code may result in regional pricing estimates being less precise
- Malformed or missing required query parameters return a 400 error

## How this service works

Car price negotiation / dealer haggling / invoice price & out-the-door price guide. Returns target price, negotiation scripts, invoice-vs-MSRP context, and a junk-fee guide to cut the dealer's out-the-door number for any make/model. For car-buyer and auto agents.

## Output

Returns a structured response including: estimated dealer invoice price, MSRP, a recommended target purchase price, step-by-step negotiation scripts, a breakdown of common junk fees to refuse (e.g. documentation fees, paint protection, VIN etching), and context on how much below MSRP is realistic for the specific make/model.
