How CarEdge grades every dealer.

Other car sites sell your phone number. CarEdge asks dealers for the price in writing and grades every store. Only an A joins the certified network.

See the graded dealers
  1. We contact car dealers.

    CarEdge's AI asked Chevrolet of Culver City for a written out-the-door price on a used Blazer EV, then pushed back when the number didn't match the listing.

  2. We collect data on their transparency.

    Advertised at $23,637. Quoted at $41,038, with $11,270 of "accessories and protection plan." Any further discount required a trade-in or financing with them.

  3. We grade them from A to F.

    Same rules for every dealer, recomputed daily on the Dealer Transparency Index. Chevrolet of Culver City: F. Ackerman Toyota: A. Only an A earns the CarEdge Certified seal.

Don't take our word for it.

“We used your AI negotiator for the $49.99 and saved at least $2,500. We did the entire deal from our kitchen table… we were out of the dealership with a new Trail Boss in 21 minutes.”

“My total out-the-door price was nearly $6k less than the MSRP and about $3K less than the CarEdge Target. I was also able to confidently decline the significantly overpriced extended warranty.”

“Within about 48 hours I had four cars to review. My rep negotiated the final out-the-door price of $35,337. This car’s new MSRP was $43,995. Bottom line...this IS THE WAY TO BUY A CAR.”

“Your AI tool is fabulous… it found us a '25 Forester Hybrid with 5,900 miles in El Paso. I used the AI to check numbers, called the dealership and worked an OTD price that saved us $6,900 under a '26 model.”

“Stuart negotiated my deal from start to finish, and all I had to do was walk into the dealership, sign the papers, and drive away in my brand-new car. It was that simple.”

“I saved $2k on the price and probably another $3-4K on the psychological warfare that goes on in the finance manager's office. The best $50 I ever spent in my life!”

“I was able to negotiate $6,200 off the price of my vehicle… if it were not for the AI and the father-son duo I feel I would have paid way more and felt ripped off.”

“I gave him three must-haves: Mazda CX5 with black exterior, leather seats, and a power liftgate. I was expecting a 2024 with 25,000 miles — but I got a 2025 with 16,500 miles.”

Frequently asked questions.

What is a CarEdge Certified Dealer?

A dealer that earns an A for price transparency on CarEdge's Dealer Transparency Index, checked every month. The badge cannot be bought.

What's the difference between AI Buying Agent and Concierge?

AI Buying Agent ($49.99 beta price) is software that emails dealers, negotiates the out-the-door price, and pushes junk fees out. Concierge ($999) is a 20-year pro who runs the deal end-to-end, handling calls, texts, escalations, and walking you all the way to signing.

Will dealers blow up my phone?

Never. Your number stays yours. We handle every email, call, and text on your behalf. Zero spam.

How does the dealer grade work?

Every dealer is graded A to F on price transparency. The grade shows on listings and on the dealer's page, so you know before you call.

How long does the negotiation take?

It depends on how fast you want to move. First dealer responses usually land within 24 hours and counter-offers within 48. Most buyers wrap in 3 to 5 days, but if you'd rather take your time and let dealers compete, we'll keep the pressure on as long as you need.

What if I don't end up buying?

AI Buying Agent is $49.99 while in beta, and you keep the data even if you walk away. Concierge is $999 per car search.

Do I have to pay to start?

No. Free Research gives you market data, Ask CarEdge chat, and 5M+ listings forever. Upgrade only when you want target prices, out-the-door estimates, or done-for-you negotiating.

I'm a dealer. How do I get certified?

Earn an A on the Dealer Transparency Index, then enroll. Certified dealers show the badge on their listings, site, and ads. Get certified.
