BEST FOR MOST BUYERS
AUTOMATED REPORT

VIN + Market Value Report

Free tools give you data. We give you a decision.
NHTSA and Carfax show you raw records. They don't tell you what those records mean, whether the price is fair for your ZIP code, or whether you should walk away. We do. Every report ends with a clear Buy / Negotiate / Walk Away recommendation — something no free tool gives you.
$49
  • Full title & accident history — explained in plain English, not just a PDF of records
  • Local market pricing for your exact ZIP code — know immediately if you're being overcharged
  • Open recalls cross-referenced with NHTSA — flagged and explained
  • Odometer and ownership history
  • Fraud signal summary — 6 key indicators reviewed automatically
  • Clear Buy / Negotiate / Walk Away recommendation (free tools don't do this)

HUMAN EXPERT REVIEW

Premium Reviewed Report

A real expert reviews your specific car and tells you exactly what to do.
The automated report is powerful. But for cars over $10k, or any deal that feels off, you want a former dealership manager to personally review the history, flag the issues, estimate what repairs will cost, and tell you the maximum you should pay. That's what this is.
$89
  • Everything in the Automated Report
  • Personal written analysis by a former dealership manager with 10+ years of experience
  • Exact negotiation language — word-for-word talking points based on what we find
  • Estimated repair costs for any issues flagged
  • A recommended maximum offer price — not a range, a number
  • Direct email access to ask follow-up questions

Common Questions

Q: How is this different from Carfax or a free NHTSA lookup?

A: Free tools give you raw data. We give you an interpretation. We flag what actually matters, tell you how it affects the car's value, and give you a clear Buy / Negotiate / Walk Away recommendation. That's what free tools don't do.

Q: Do I need this for a dealership car, not just private sellers?

A: Yes. Dealers are better at hiding problems than private sellers. Title washing, undisclosed auction history, and inflated pricing happen at dealerships too. Our reports work on any VIN regardless of where the car is being sold.

Q: What if the report doesn't help me?

A: Every product comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't feel more confident about your purchase decision, email us and we'll refund you — no hassle.

Q: How fast do I get my report?

A: The automated report is instant. The human-reviewed Premium Report is delivered within 24 hours, usually faster.

How we pull your data:
Our reports combine title history, accident records, recall databases, and real-time local market comparables sourced from national vehicle history databases and NHTSA. We don't just hand you a PDF — we tell you what it means.
