What gives the AI such an edge? Unlike consumers who buy cars every three to five years, the artificial intelligence negotiates deals constantly, learning from each interaction. CarEdge has fed the system six years of pricing data from hundreds of thousands of car transactions, giving it deep insights into what constitutes a fair deal.
The AI also eliminates the emotional and psychological pressures that often derail human negotiations. It doesn’t get flustered by high-pressure sales tactics or feel rushed to make a decision. Instead, it methodically compares offers, identifies hidden fees, and pushes for better terms with the persistence of a seasoned negotiator.
According to CarEdge, one customer looking for a Honda Accord got to experience the benefits firsthand when the AI negotiator managed 13 back-and-forth messages with a dealer and ultimately saved him $1,280 off the original out-the-door price.
Beyond the financial savings, the AI negotiator addresses another major pain point in car shopping: privacy invasion. Traditional car shopping websites often expose buyers to a barrage of spam calls and emails from multiple dealerships. CarEdge’s system flips this dynamic entirely: The AI absorbs all the dealer communications while the customer stays anonymous until they’re ready to make a purchase.
