Know whether to buy, negotiate, or walk — before you wire the money.
Send us the listing, the history reports, and your photos. You get back one clear verdict, a target price, the red flags to chase, and a negotiation plan — on the clock, in as little as an hour.
- History reports clean but stale vs. current mileage
- Asking $33,400 — above target until records verify
- Open with $28,750; ceiling $31,000 after PPI
How it works
No app to learn. You send what you have; we do the digging.
Tell us about the car
Paste the listing, drop in the VIN, and upload anything you have — CARFAX or AutoCheck, a PPI, service records, photos, seller texts. Takes about 5 minutes.
We build your decision report
We synthesize the history, market comps, and model-specific risks into a structured verdict. A specialist reviews it whenever your delivery window allows — and when the clock runs short, your report ships on time rather than late.
You decide with confidence
Get a clear verdict — Buy, Negotiate, Walk Away, or Wait when the timing's wrong — plus a target price, the questions to ask the seller, and a PPI checklist. Free reruns for 30 days as new info comes in.

Common questions
What do I need to send you?
At minimum, the listing link or VIN. The more you add — CARFAX/AutoCheck, a PPI, service records, photos, seller messages — the sharper and more confident the verdict. Don't have a history report yet? Send what you have and we'll flag what's missing.
Is this an inspection or a guarantee?
No. PreBuyIQ is decision support based on the information you provide and public reference data. It is not a certification, appraisal, warranty, or safety inspection, and it doesn't replace a professional pre-purchase inspection — it tells you exactly what that inspection should look for.
How fast will I get it back?
A Premium report is delivered within one hour, a Standard report within four. The clock starts once we have your payment, a valid VIN, and the files the report needs — not the moment you open the form — so a missing VIN doesn't eat your window.
What if new information comes in?
For 30 days after your report, send us new docs — a fresh PPI, the seller's records, updated photos — and we'll rerun the analysis for free and show you what changed.
What kinds of cars do you cover?
Enthusiast and higher-end used cars are our sweet spot — Porsche, BMW M, trucks, EVs, and similar — but we'll take on most used vehicles. If we're not the right fit for yours, we'll say so up front.
