Have an agent email dealers for itemized car quotes
An AI agent can gather dealer pricing by email and call out when the written numbers conflict with the online listing.
- What they did
- CarEdge’s AI buying agent reached out for a shopper without exposing the buyer’s phone number. In one example, it contacted Culver City Chevrolet about a used Blazer EV, asked for a full written price breakdown, and challenged the dealer when the reply did not line up with the $23,637 listing. The dealer then sent back trade-in and financing discounts.
- How it went
- The number returned was $41,038, and it included $11,270 in add-ons that were not advertised. The dealer was rated F. The service says customers have reported savings, but results differ from case to case.
- Tips
- Use this when you want to compare dealers in writing and spot extra charges before you commit. The first response usually arrives in roughly a day, and the whole process often wraps up within 3 to 5 days.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
I want to shop for a [year] [make] [model] [trim] in [city or ZIP]. Find [3-5] dealers with a matching vehicle on the lot, then email each one asking for a line-by-line out-the-door quote that includes taxes, registration, dealer fees, and any extras. If the quoted total does not match the advertised price, draft a polite follow-up that asks the dealer to explain the gap and restate the offer in writing. Stop and show me every draft before anything is sent, and do not proceed past any payment, signing, or submission step until I approve it.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
