When buyers in the U.S. use AI-backed data (comps, OTD, scripts) vs negotiating on gut, outcomes differ—data-backed buyers often get closer to market and pay less. Here's what AI vs human negotiation outcomes show and how to get the better outcome.

TL;DR Buyers who use market data, target OTD, and scripts tend to get better outcomes—closer to market, lower OTD, fewer bad deals—than those who negotiate on gut or payment. Use autopremo.com so you negotiate with data and improve your outcome.

AI vs Human Negotiation Outcomes

  • Data-backed buyers — know market (comps, median), set target OTD, use scripts, walk if the deal doesn't meet their number. Outcome: often at or below market OTD; fewer overpays and fewer regrets. Use autopremo.com price checker and OTD calculator.
  • Gut-only buyers — negotiate without comps or OTD target; focus on payment or "feel." Outcome: more often above market; more overpay and more regret. Use autopremo.com to avoid that.
  • Why the gap — dealers use anchoring, payment focus, and confusion. Data-backed buyers have a reference (median) and a limit (target OTD); gut-only buyers don't. So data-backed buyers get better outcomes. Use autopremo.com.

What to Do

  • Use data — get comps, median, and target OTD before you negotiate. Use autopremo.com.
  • Use scripts — "I need to be at $X out the door. Can you get there?" Then wait. If they don't meet it, walk. Use autopremo.com.
  • Don't negotiate on gut — gut is easily anchored and pushed to payment. Data keeps you on OTD and market. Use autopremo.com.

Bottom Line

AI vs human negotiation outcomes: data-backed buyers tend to get better outcomes—at or below market, fewer overpays. Use autopremo.com so you negotiate with data and get the better outcome.
