Where the hours were going.
For a used car lot, the purchase is where the profit is made or lost. A vehicle bought for too much — or one with a problem nobody caught — can sit on the lot for months and eat the margin from several good deals.
Evaluations relied on experience and a quick look under pressure. Known problem areas for specific makes, models, and years weren't always top of mind, and there was no consistent checklist behind each buy.
The AI-enhanced workflow.
We built a valuation tool that prices a vehicle under consideration and, just as importantly, tells the buyer what to look out for.
Enter the vehicle's details and the tool returns an estimated value and a target purchase price, plus a tailored list of red flags — common failures and inspection points for that make, model, and year — so the evaluation covers what actually matters.
What it does.
