How it works

From “which car?” to a confident buy

Four steps to make sure you never overpay or buy a money pit.

01

Enter any vehicle

Type the year, make, model and asking price — or describe your budget and needs to the AI Advisor.

02

Get a Deal Score & verdict

The AI weighs the price against real market value and mileage to give a 0–100 Deal Score and a BUY / NEGOTIATE / PASS call.

03

See the 5-year true cost

Depreciation, maintenance, insurance, fuel or charging, plus open recalls and this model's common problems.

04

Compare & negotiate

Put cars side by side and get a fair-price target with the exact questions to ask the seller.

The Deal Score

One number. A clear verdict.

Every analysis boils down to a 0–100 score and a plain-language call.

80–100
BUY

Priced at or below fair market value with a healthy ownership outlook. Go for it.

50–79
NEGOTIATE

A fair listing with real room to push lower — we hand you the target price and script.

0–49
PASS

Overpriced, steep depreciation, or a history of costly repairs. Walk away.

Everything to buy smart

Why buyers use it

Built for smarter car buyers

“It flagged that the dealer was asking well over market on a 2021 Outback. I walked in with the fair-price number and they came down fast.”

David K. · Shopping a used SUV

“The 5-year cost report made the 'cheap' car obviously expensive once repairs and insurance were in. Total eye-opener.”

Sarah M. · First-time buyer

“Comparing a Model 3 vs a Camry over five years finally made the math click for me. I knew exactly what to buy.”

Marcus V. · EV-curious
