When buyers in the U.S. use AI-powered tools for market data, fair value, and total cost, the advantage shifts from dealers (information asymmetry) to buyers (transparency). Here's AI vs dealers—who has the advantage and how to use it.
TL;DR Buyers with AI-powered data (comps, OTD, total cost) have the advantage—they know market and total cost, so they negotiate from fact. Dealers who compete on price and service win; those who rely on confusion lose. Use autopremo.com for market data, OTD, and total cost so you have the advantage.AI vs Dealers Who Has the Advantage
- Without data — dealers had the advantage (information asymmetry). Buyers didn't know comps, OTD, or total cost—so dealers could anchor high and push payment.
- With AI-powered data — buyers have the advantage. Comps, median, OTD, and total cost in seconds. You know market and total cost—so you negotiate from fact. Use autopremo.com price checker and OTD calculator.
- Dealers who adapt — compete on price and service; offer transparent OTD and breakdown. They win when buyers have data—because they're competing fairly.
- Dealers who don't — rely on confusion (payment focus, no written breakdown). They lose when buyers have data—because buyers walk or buy elsewhere. Use autopremo.com to get your data and have the advantage.
What to Do
- Use AI-powered tools before you go—get market data, OTD, and total cost. Use autopremo.com.
- Negotiate from data — state your target OTD and compare to market. Walk if they don't meet it.
- Insist on written OTD — no breakdown = no deal. You have the advantage when you have data and insist on transparency.
Bottom Line
AI vs dealers: buyers with AI-powered data have the advantage—they know market and total cost. Use autopremo.com so you have the advantage and don't overpay.
