Check car listings and draft a dealership offer
Buyers use AI to review dealer cars, gauge pricing, and prepare a message to send back to the seller.
- What they did
- A shopper dropped a dealer’s car page into an AI tool and asked it to size up the asking price, estimate holdback, compare the vehicle with nearby and national listings, and assess trade-in value. The agent then produced a proposed offer and suggested responses to the dealer’s likely objections. In the comments, dealers described the exchange as a mostly human process on their side: they answered the AI-led questions, shared photos or extra details, and sometimes got a revised ask that the customer’s bot had generated.
- How it went
- Dealers said the method seldom delivered big savings. One dealer said an AI-assisted shopper first tried for $1,500 less, was turned down, and then moved to asking for home delivery and a recall fix; another said these customers end up buying “like 9 times out of 10” when the dealer responds. Others said messages that clearly came from AI are often ignored or become a time sink, and one dealer said a Toyota Sienna was bought by another customer while the bot continued to repeat itself.
- Tips
- This can help you organize the numbers and draft a first message, but it does not guarantee a better price. Keep the final decision and any outreach manual until you approve it.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
Look at this car listing: [URL]. For a [year, make, model], compare the asking price, mileage, and features with similar vehicles at other dealerships within [distance] of [ZIP code], and with common market averages. Tell me whether the price seems high, then draft a brief, polite offer message for [amount] and a short set of responses to likely dealer pushback. Pause before any email is sent, any form is filled out, or any other irreversible action happens.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
