The $0.3 Million Question

That's a Lot of Cars

$0.3 million is enough to buy approximately 10 Honda Civics at $28,000 each. Or 10 families could upgrade from LX to EX trim.

Stack It Up

If you stacked $0.3 million in $100 bills, it would be approximately 1 feet tall. That's taller than a building!

Key Findings

AI Persistence Pays Off

Buyers who let AI negotiate multiple rounds save $7,958 on average. That's not pocket change — that's a real impact on your budget.

Time is Your Most Valuable Asset

Methodology

Negotiation Definition: Any CarEdge AI dealer outreach session counts as one negotiation. Outreach sessions come from our AI deal telemetry stream.

Savings Calculation: Savings are calculated from VIN-level quote groups: highest quoted price minus final quoted price (with trade value normalized back into gross price). This requires multi-quote history for the same vehicle.

Time Saved: Uses observed customer time-saved telemetry from negotiation workflows. If telemetry is unavailable, we use conservative round-based estimates.

Responsiveness Metrics: Email/SMS response rates measure the share of outreach deals that received at least one dealer response on that same channel.

Data Validity: Quote-level savings include only valid OTD prices ($0-$500k). Outlier filtering and channel safeguards are applied before aggregation.
