TAMPA, FL • 2024 HONDA

"The local market comps showed the asking price was $2,800 high. Used the exact talking points from the report and the dealer came down immediately. Paid for itself 30x."

— Marcus R., repeat buyer (now on Membership)
ORLANDO, FL • PRIVATE SELLER

"Title looked clean but the report flagged prior lemon buyback indicators the Carfax missed. Walked away and saved a $4k+ headache. The negotiation leverage kit scripts are gold."

— Elena S.
MULTIPLE CARS / YEAR

"I buy 3-4 cars annually for family and small flips. The membership is a no-brainer — priority reports + the updated kits keep me ahead. Easily saved 5 figures last year alone."

— David K. (Membership member)

Common Questions

Q: Is this the same as Carfax?

We use the same underlying data sources. The difference is we turn it into local sold prices for your exact area and a clear expert second opinion on what to pay. Free tools and most Carfax reports stop at the records and leave you to guess the price and the risk.

Q: What if the VIN has no reported history?

A clean history isn't always a good sign. Our report flags this and explains what to look for in person.

Q: How is the report delivered?

Within 24 hours via email as a downloadable PDF with the full synthesis, max price recommendation, and negotiation leverage points.

Q: What's your exact refund policy?

30 days, no questions asked. If the report didn't help you make a better decision, email us and we'll refund you the same day.
