Automotive & marketplaces
Car marketplaces and dealership software, built in weeks.
Cambalache is a product studio in Buenos Aires that designs and builds automotive software: car marketplaces, auctions and the CRM dealerships sell with. We built MotorBox, a car marketplace with an AI advisor; Auten, a used-car marketplace in Chile with auctions and escrow; API, a CRM for car dealerships; and MOSUNO, a powersports marketplace in Argentina.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Have you built car marketplaces before?
Yes. MotorBox (Argentina), Auten (Chile) and MOSUNO (powersports, Argentina) are live marketplaces we designed and built, and API is the CRM car dealerships use to manage their leads.
How much does it cost to build a car marketplace?
It depends on the scope. A car marketplace usually starts from one of our fixed-price packages: Validate, $3,900 in 2 weeks for one core flow or one automated process; Launch, from $8,000 in 8 weeks; or Scale, from $15,000 in 10–14 weeks for marketplaces and heavy integrations. You get the exact price and launch date in writing before any code is written.
Can you connect it to our inventory, CRM or WhatsApp?
Yes. Integrations with the tools you already run are scoped and priced up front, through their APIs. Direct WhatsApp contact is part of how MotorBox, MOSUNO and API work today.
How long does it take to launch?
A focused first version usually fits our Launch package: 8 weeks, fixed price. Platforms with several sides or heavy integrations take 10 to 14 weeks on Scale. The launch date is agreed in writing before we start, and it is guaranteed.
