Using Gemini to find and buy a new car

I've been using Gemini to help shop for a car and the results have been mixed and very interesting.

The biggest conclusion I've come to is that Gemini is very easily "corrupted" by long chats, especially in the new chrome tab viewer mode (whatever it's called)

The "human" advice it gives is extremely dependent on the prompting. I was asking for an appropriate OTD price on a specific vehicle. When provided with just the price sheet, it says the deal is fantastic.

Another chat focused on negotiating urged me to open with an amount about $3,000 lower. This offer would be insanely low given the vehicle.

Finally with my own human thought and that sweet new free deep research feature, I proposed a deal the dealer said was fair. The car was already sold though.

When you give Gemeni a quote or two to worth with, after a few questions it gets very confused. It's not capable of handling multipal sources at once.
