It reads the year, make, model, price, and mileage right off the page.
Full monthly breakdown, deal rating, and hidden cost warnings — instantly.
Not just the sticker price. What it actually costs you every month to own.
Loan payment, insurance, fuel, maintenance, depreciation, and taxes/fees — all in one number, not scattered across a dozen tabs.
Compares the asking price against real depreciation data for that model, so you know if it's actually a good price — not just a guess.
Flags vehicles with unusually high maintenance, insurance, or depreciation before you find out the hard way.
When there's a genuinely comparable model that holds its value better, it'll tell you — based on real published data, not guesswork.
Every vehicle you've looked up is saved locally, so you can pull up two and compare them directly.
Tell it your monthly budget and it'll flag clearly — not buried in fine print — when a car runs meaningfully over it.
