How does Motrix work?

You tell Motrix the car you want. We contact multiple dealers for you — by email and real phone calls — strip every junk fee, and negotiate your out-the-door price in writing. You approve the final number and sign. You never sit across from a salesperson.

What does Motrix cost, and when do I pay?

$0 upfront. You only pay when Motrix lands you a deal you actually sign — $399 for the Deal tier (done-for-you), $799 for Pro (a dedicated human on your deal), or $1,499 for founder-led Concierge. If it does not close a deal you sign, you pay nothing.

Do I have to talk to the dealer at all?

Never. Motrix handles all communication. The only thing you sign is the final contract.

How long does it take?

Most deals are locked within 24–72 hours. We contact dealers immediately after your brief is filed and follow up aggressively until we get a response.

Does this work for used cars too?

Yes. Motrix works for new, used, and CPO vehicles. Used car negotiations use different tactics — we focus on vehicle history, condition-based pricing, and market comparables rather than MSRP.

What if I have a trade-in?

Enter your license plate number in the brief. We automatically pull your vehicle's value from KBB, Carvana, and CarMax. We negotiate your new car price first, then your trade separately.

Is Motrix a car broker?

No. Motrix is a negotiation facilitation service. We're not a licensed dealer or broker — we're an AI agent that negotiates on your behalf. You make every final decision.

What does Motrix actually do?

Motrix is an autonomous AI agent that contacts car dealers on your behalf and negotiates the entire deal. You submit a brief about the vehicle you want, and the agent handles every dealer interaction — emails, SMS, fee disputes, price counter-offers — until it surfaces a final deal for you to review and sign. You never have to talk to a dealer.

Is Motrix a car broker or dealer?

No. Motrix is a negotiation facilitation service. We're not a licensed dealer or broker. We act as an AI agent representing the buyer's interests. The buyer makes every final decision and signs the contract directly with the dealer.

How does $0 until you sign actually work?

On every paid tier (Deal $399, Pro $799, Concierge $1,499), you pay nothing upfront. The fee only applies if Motrix secures a deal that meets your target and you choose to sign the contract. If we can't find a deal that works, you pay nothing. 30-minute money-back window after purchase for any reason.

Can I use Motrix for used cars?

Yes. Motrix handles new, used, certified pre-owned, and lease deals. The fee structures and negotiation tactics adapt to the vehicle type — the brief flow asks which condition you want.

What's in the Concierge tier?

Concierge is founder-led negotiation. Founder Jimmy Sturdivent personally handles every step from your first inquiry to your signed contract, with AI agents working alongside. Includes trade-in coordination, financing review, insurance shopping, and delivery logistics. 24-hour SLA on every touchpoint. Limited to the first 25 Founding buyers at the $999 founding rate (standard rate $1,499).

// VS THE NAMED COMPETITION

Motrix vs CarEdge AI
vs Delivrd vs DIY.

The honest comparison, by name, capability by capability. No marketing language, no fudged columns. Where each option wins, where it loses, and what each one actually costs.

Three real services exist in the AI-assisted car-buying category as of mid-2026. CarEdge offers two tiers — AI Negotiator (email-and-text dealer outreach) and Concierge at $999 one-time (human-led full service), both paid upfront and non-refundable per their Terms of Use. Delivrd, founded by Tomislav Mikula, runs a five-person human team that handles negotiations end-to-end for a flat $1,000 per deal during business hours. Motrix Deal sits in the AI lane at $399 per closed deal — or $0 today via Pay-on-Close, billed only at signing.

The pricing structure reflects an operating-model difference. Both CarEdge tiers and Delivrd ($1,000) collect payment upfront because they want the buyer's commitment before allocating effort. Motrix Deal bills only at signing because AI agents are cheap to run and the company eats the cost of failed deals. Each model is defensible. Each rewards a different kind of buyer.

The channel difference matters more than the pricing in practice. Cold email open rates at franchise dealers are low, and cold texts get ignored. Voicemails ring on the general sales line and have to be physically dealt with. Form submissions (Carfax, dealer-website leads, AutoTrader inquiries) route to a different inbox that the BDC team triages first. Running all three in parallel against the same dealer in the same morning is the structural reason Motrix’s dealer-response rate beats email-only AI agents. Whether that gap justifies the price difference versus CarEdge AI is a real question that depends on how many cars you buy.

// HONEST DISCLOSURES

Where the competition wins.

PAYMENT TIMING WINS:The structural difference between Motrix and CarEdge

Both CarEdge tiers (AI Negotiator / $999 Concierge) are paid upfront and non-refundable per their Terms of Use. Motrix Deal runs $0 today / $399 only if the deal closes via Pay-on-Close, plus a 30-minute refund window. Motrix Concierge ($1,499) uses standard Stripe refund policy. Same end goal — a closed deal at a fair price. Different risk posture: commit payment upfront, or after the deal closes. Both models work. The right fit depends on which risk you prefer.

DELIVRD WINS:The human-expert experience

For buyers who specifically want a known person on the other end of the deal — someone they can call by name, watch on TikTok, and treat as a relationship — Delivrd delivers something an AI cannot replicate. Tomi has closed thousands of deals personally and posts public negotiation receipts. That kind of human credibility takes years to build.

DIY WINS:Maximum savings if you have time and skill

A buyer who genuinely understands the dealer playbook (the four-square, junk fees, financing leverage, holdback math) and has twenty-plus hours to commit can probably match any AI agent’s outcome at zero cost. Most buyers do not have either, but DIY is technically optimal for the right buyer.

We list these honestly because the credibility of a comparison page is the entire point of having one. If you want a known human handling the deal, Delivrd is the right call. If you have time and skill, DIY is technically optimal. For a single deal at the lowest total cost with the broadest channel coverage and pay-only-on-close pricing, Motrix is the right call.

// FAQ

Direct answers.

Is Motrix a CarEdge AI Negotiator alternative?

Yes. CarEdge offers two products: AI Negotiator (email-and-text dealer outreach) and Concierge ($999 one-time, human-led full service). Motrix Deal ($399) and Motrix Concierge ($1,499) compete in the same category. Two differences worth knowing: (1) Motrix runs voicemail, email, and dealer-form submissions in parallel against the same dealer — CarEdge AI is email and text, with no phone outreach. (2) Both CarEdge tiers are paid upfront and non-refundable per their Terms of Use; Motrix Deal aligns payment to outcome via Pay-on-Close ($0 today, $399 only if the deal closes). Same category, different risk model.

Is Motrix a Delivrd alternative?

Yes. Delivrd (delivrdto.me, founded by Tomislav Mikula) is a human-team service charging $1,000 flat per deal with business-hours availability. Motrix runs AI agents around the clock at $399 per deal, or $0 today via Pay-on-Close. Delivrd's strength is the personal-human-expert relationship and Tomi's public TikTok livestreams. Motrix's strength is scale, speed, and the lower price point. Both beat walking into the dealership alone.

Why does Motrix charge per-deal instead of monthly?

Because a car purchase is a discrete event, not a subscription. A monthly subscription bills whether you bought a car that month or not. The per-deal model aligns price with outcome: $0 today via Pay-on-Close, $399 only at signing if the deal closes. If we fail to reach a dealer in 24 hours, full refund.

Can an AI really negotiate as well as a human?

For standard new and used deals in normal market conditions, an AI agent is at least as effective because car negotiation is structured: refuse junk fees, target out-the-door price, compare against real market data, use pre-approved financing as the APR ceiling. AI runs more dealers in parallel and never gets tired or pressured. For genuinely rare vehicles (limited editions, complex trade-ins, unique trim combos), a specialist human broker may still have the edge. Motrix flags edge cases for human review when they arise.

What happens if Motrix cannot hit my target price?

We tell you, and walk. On Pay-on-Close, you pay nothing. On the pay-upfront option, the refund policy protects the early stages — full refund if no dealer contact in 24 hours, tiered after that. If your target is more than 30% below market floor for that vehicle, the brief blocks the submission upfront so a slot does not get burned on a deal we cannot close.

Does the comparison change if I have great credit?

Marginally, not fundamentally. A high-credit buyer can sometimes secure aggressive captive financing directly and DIY their way to a competitive deal — but they still face junk fees, F&I product pressure, and inventory hunting. The AI agent runs the same fee audits and the same dealer-comparison loops regardless of credit tier. The savings versus walking in alone tend to be similar across credit profiles.

How does Motrix compare to CarEdge AI Negotiator on price and risk?

CarEdge sells help with the deal as something you pay for before any result — its AI Negotiator is email-led and its Concierge is $999 one-time, both paid upfront and non-refundable per their Terms of Use. (CarEdge has restructured its product line and the AI Negotiator price has moved, so Motrix does not cite a figure that may be out of date.) Motrix Deal runs $399 per closed deal with Pay-on-Close at $0 today — only charged if the deal closes, plus a 30-minute refund window. Same category, opposite payment posture: CarEdge collects before the work, Motrix collects after the result. Both models work; each has a real audience.

Is the data my deal generates kept private?

Yes. Anonymized deal outcomes — year, make, model, savings, days to close — appear on the public deal wall as proof the platform works. Your name, exact contact details, and trade-in specifics stay private. Opt out of public posting entirely during onboarding if you prefer.
