What's Inside

Everything a $500 PPI covers.
For $25.

I.

Photo Inspection Flags

AI-assisted analysis of every listing photo. We flag paint inconsistencies, panel gaps, underbody rust, tire wear, interior damage, and anything else the camera catches that you might miss.

II.

Carfax Cross-Reference

Your Carfax interpreted against the specific maintenance schedule for your exact make, model, and year. We highlight missed services, ownership red flags, and accident severity.

III.

Seller Disclosure Analysis

We parse what the seller says — and what they don't. Cross-referenced against listing photos and vehicle history for inconsistencies and omissions worth investigating.

IV.

Model Reliability Profile

Known issues, common failure points, and reliability ratings specific to your car's generation, engine, and transmission. Sourced from enthusiast forums, TSBs, and recall data.

V.

5-Year Ownership Cost Projection

Estimated maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and common repair costs over five years of ownership. So you know what you're really paying — not just the hammer price.

Why This Exists

Built by an enthusiast,
for enthusiasts.

I'm 21, from Boston, and I spend way too much time on BaT and Cars & Bids. Every time I found a car I loved, I'd spend hours cross-referencing the Carfax, zooming into listing photos, and Googling known issues for that exact model.

I wanted a tool that did all of that automatically — something that combined AI photo analysis with real enthusiast knowledge about what to look for. I couldn't find it, so I built it.
