For first-time private-sale buyers
Walk in knowing. Even if you’ve never bought a car.
You don’t have to be a mechanic. You do have to know what this year and model is known to break, whether the ask is fair, and who can put it on a hoist. One PDF. Plain English.
- Written so a partner who doesn’t know cars can read it
- Typical independent-shop cost for the expensive jobs
- A driveway checklist on the last page
How it works
Paste the listing. Pay $34.99 once. Get a PDF you can print and take to the viewing. Still book a hoist inspection before you buy.
- Paste the listing link. We read the ad and the photos.
- Pay $34.99 once. One vehicle. No subscription.
- You get a PDF. Cover answer, the detail, a last page to print.
Questions
I don’t know cars. Is this for me?
Yes. We write in plain English. You walk in knowing what to look for, what it costs to fix, and who can put it on a hoist.
Will this tell me to buy it?
No. Homework, not a verdict. The last page is a checklist. You still take it to a shop.
What if I learn the kilometres later?
One update is included for a week. We refresh price and tax. We don’t start over.
