The Price Isn’t Right: Car Negotiations w/ Delivrd

I let ChatGPT’s voice mode negotiate with real car dealers for a Honda Odyssey Elite. The goal was simple: get 10% off MSRP. My new AI employee, Dale, had his own approach. Between wrong stock numbers, a questionable southern accent, and dealers hanging up, I started wondering if Dale was ready for the job.

I was just trying to negotiate a better price on a 2026 GMC Canyon Denali, but one salesman took the conversation in a direction I NEVER expected. Between awkward jokes about boxers, uncomfortable laughter, and dealers recognizing my voice, this turned into one of the strangest car negotiations I've had in a while.

I'm calling Ford dealerships across Texas to negotiate a deal on a new Ranger Raptor, but one salesman takes things a little too far. Between questionable claims about insurance, expensive add-ons, and insisting we can't negotiate over the phone, I finally have to call him out. Watch as I break down these dealership sales tactics and show why you should always question what a car salesman...

I called 8 Ram dealerships to negotiate a deal on a 2026 Ram Rebel 2500. One wouldn’t budge on a truck sitting for 300+ days. Another got loud when I asked for $10,000 off. Watch real truck-buying negotiations covering dealer discounts, rebates, extra fees, and the debate over buying locally versus out of state.

What started as a normal negotiation for a 2026 Ford F-150 Raptor quickly turned into something I wasn't expecting. While trying to work out a deal, a salesperson accused me of illegally wiretapping our phone call and even threatened to pursue legal action against me. All because I was trying to negotiate a car deal over the phone. Watch as a simple car-buying conversation takes a wild turn wh...

Car dealers keep recognizing my voice, so I decided it was time to go undercover. Meet Dale Liverd. This time, I’m negotiating for a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road under a fake name to see if I can actually get through a car deal without being recognized. Between the endless questions, strange sales tactics, and a dealer treating car shopping like a game of Guess Who, things get pretty entertaining. W...

I’m opening up Delivrd’s latest car buying data for our October Market Update. From the most popular cars to the biggest discounts and the models with barely any room to negotiate, I’m breaking down how the deals stack up across a range of categories. See what buyers are choosing, where we’re finding savings, and what our numbers could mean for your next car purchase.

I’m calling around to negotiate a 2026 Honda Pilot Elite, but apparently my voice is giving me away! I’m just trying to get some numbers, and these salespeople are trying to figure out if they’ve got Tomi on the phone. Staying anonymous is getting harder, but I’ve still got a deal to negotiate...

Two callers called my service a SCAM, so I gave them the chance to tell me why. Is paying someone to negotiate your car deal a waste of money? We get into what I actually do for buyers, why these callers think it’s unnecessary, and where we REALLY disagree. These debates got heated!

There’s a LOT of car buying advice on the internet, and some of it is just plain terrible. I’m breaking down some of the WORST advice I could find, explaining where it goes wrong, and sharing what I’d actually do instead. Before you take someone’s “secret trick” to the dealership, you might want to watch this.

I’m calling around to negotiate a 2026 Honda Pilot Touring for a client, but these SoCal Honda dealers already know who I am, and they’re not exactly excited to hear from me. Knowing my name is one thing. Agreeing on a price? That’s a whole different conversation.

I called a Subaru dealer to negotiate a deal on a new 2026 Uncharted GT, but getting a price turned into a whole ordeal. He was so worried I’d shop his numbers around that we spent more time talking about HIS concerns than the car. Apparently, asking how much you want for the vehicle is asking too much. Bless your heart.

A quarter MILLION dollars for a G-Wagon… and dealerships STILL want a markup?! I’m negotiating a Mercedes-Benz G63, and apparently a $250,000 car isn’t expensive enough. Let’s see how much room these dealers REALLY have when I start pushing back.

Would a dealer negotiate differently if they thought I was a woman? I used a female voice changer to shop for a GMC Sierra 1500 SLT, and things got interesting. When I flirted a little, I seemed to get better offers. When I pushed harder, the conversations went VERY differently. Listen to the calls and tell me what you think made the difference.

When SB Mowing reached out and said they needed a new Honda Odyssey Elite, we were STOKED to help him out. But it begged the question... can we get an even bigger discount when the car is for a well-loved and very deserving celebrity? Watch to find out - and make sure you subscribe to SB Mowing for the MOST SATISFYING mowing content out there.

We FINALLY convinced Zach Morris to come on live and explain just why he thinks I am horrible for the car industry. What did you think of his arguments and who would you like me to talk to next?

I have gotten MANY suggestions to start using a voice changer since being recognized more often. Well in this stream, I tried it while negotiating on a Nissan Z. We may need to make some adjustments...

In this video I'm negotiating a Honda Odyssey Elite in Southern California and one salesman flat out refuses to put a discount in writing unless I promise to buy from him that same day. That's the whole game, if a dealer won't commit to a number you can hold them to, you don't actually have a deal yet. Another dealer gave me $5,300 off and sent the full out the door breakdown over...

I can genuinely say this has never happened before. You would think a negotiation on a Palisade Calligraphy would be pretty straightforward and yet... this call took a turn. There is no way it wasn't the dealership who made this call. What do you think?

In this video I'm testing whether dealerships are actually following the FTC's new pricing guidance after 97 dealership groups were warned for advertising one price and charging another. I called on a Honda Civic Type R and ran into a dealer with a $10,000 markup nowhere on their website, one that hung up on me twice, and one that kept insisting the price online was "just MSRP" u...

You've made requests and we've listened. In this fall Market Update, we reveal what days you get the best the best deals, which markets to avoid, and give more REAL pricing data than ever before. Let me know what data YOU most want to see in Delivrd's next Market Update.

In this video a caller confronts me live and tells me I've lost sight of my humanity, arguing that I invite dealership employees onto debates for content and don't care when some of them lose their jobs for it. I pushed back, but I also don't think it's a question with an easy answer, so I let him make his full case and you can decide where you land.

In this video I'm negotiating a Ford Raptor R for a repeat client, and I'm actually willing to pay above MSRP just to make the deal simple and fast. The dealership makes it nearly impossible anyway: they won't do a remote appraisal on a truck that's still in production, get cagey about pricing, and transfer me through three different people before I finally tell them I don't wa...

Delivrd does more than 400 car deals a month for our clients and this means we get A LOT of data on the current car market. Despite this, this Cadillac Escalade EV deal had me questioning EVERYTHING.

In this video a dealer employee tries to justify a $225 doc fee by explaining it covers paperwork and accounting labor. So I did the math using his own numbers, 500 deals a month, a title clerk making $15 an hour, and showed that the fee generates over $100,000 a month while the person actually doing the paperwork sees almost none of it. The math doesn't lie, even when the explanation sounds r...
