Use generative AI to research cars

Unless you already have a vehicle in mind, shopping for a new car usually starts with the research stage. Generative AI tools aid in this process by providing personalized recommendations based on your parameters.

Ask a generative AI tool to “find a car under $30,000 that’s great for long road trips, has good fuel efficiency, and a spacious trunk,” and you’ll get a list vehicles that fit that description. Some AI tools even have specific GPTs designed to help consumers find the best prices on new vehicles.

Find a fair price with AI

AI-powered price comparison tools provide immense value to consumers by offering transparent pricing and simplifying the complexities of vehicle costs. AI algorithms analyze dealership prices and other shopping data to calculate a fair price.

Wondering about market value? Examine historical data and market trends with AI for insights on whether the price you’re seeing is above or below. Consult AI tools before visiting a car lot to help guard against overpaying and prepare for the negotiation.

Chat with a virtual car dealer

Before engaging with an in-person car dealer, get your questions answered with an AI-powered chatbot. Save time before your trip to the lot by asking, “What are the best new features in hybrid vehicles?” or “Can I test drive the car this weekend?” Inquire about different models, schedule a test drive, or gather details about financing options, all with AI.

Visit a virtual showroom

Look at vehicles from the comfort of your computer with AI-powered virtual showrooms—an immersive AI experience that lets buyers shop for cars in 3D. Explore your dealership’s inventory, look at different car models, customize a vehicle, and even take a virtual test drive without the pressure to make a final purchase. Compare features and specifications side-by-side for a detailed view of each car as if you’re on a lot.

Whether you’re searching for the best deals, comparing models, or looking for financing options, AI-powered tools transform the way you buy a car. By integrating these innovative solutions into your shopping process, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more efficient experience—putting you behind the wheel of your ideal car faster than ever.
