Online car buying
Buy your next car from your couch.
Tell Lucky the car you want, your budget and what you're trading. He finds it, works the numbers with you and keeps the paperwork as remote as the lender and dealer allow.
There are no listings on this site. We source each car on request, and a licensed dealership sells it to you.

01 How it works
Five steps from couch to keys.
One person handles your purchase from the first message to the handover. You talk to Lucky the whole way, by email, at your pace.
- Step 01
Tell us the car
Body style, a make and model if you have one, the features that matter and the budget you want to stay inside. A rough idea is enough to start.
- Step 02
We find it
Lucky searches dealer inventory for cars that fit and sends you the real options, with what you need to compare them.
- Step 03
Value your trade
Send the year, make, model, mileage and whether you still owe on it. The selling dealer's appraiser reviews it so you know where you stand.
- Step 04
Shape the numbers
Price, down payment and term, worked out together until the monthly payment makes sense to you. Lender approval is a separate step, and the lender decides it.
- Step 05
Sign and hand over
Paperwork is handled as remotely as the lender and dealer allow. Pick the car up at the selling dealership, or ask whether that dealer delivers to your area.
Most of buying a car is questions, numbers and paperwork. You can do that part from home.
02 Payments
See the monthly before you ask for anything.
Move the sliders or type your own numbers. Nothing here is sent anywhere unless you choose to add it to your request.
03 Trade-in
Bring your current car into the deal.
Trading in? Add a few details to your request and the selling dealer's appraiser reviews it. Its value then goes into the numbers you shape with Lucky.
- Year, make and model
- Mileage
- Whether you owe on it
- Anything worth knowing
04 Request a car
Tell Lucky what you're after.
Only your email is required. The more you share, the better the first reply.
- 1Lucky reads it himselfYour request goes to him, not to a call center.

- 3You decide what happens nextNothing moves forward until you say so.
05 About
Made by Lucky Ranasinghe at MADITECH.
Lucky sells cars for a living and builds software at MADITECH. Car Dogs is his online-first way to buy a car: you deal with the person doing the work, and you skip the parts of a dealership visit that never needed you there.
How the sale works. Car Dogs is a virtual car-buying service, built and operated by MADITECH (Lucky Ranasinghe). It does not sell vehicles itself and has no inventory of its own. Every car is sold and titled by a licensed dealership, which also arranges any financing, and you sign the purchase with that dealer. Delivery, fees and return terms are set by the selling dealer.
