How it works

No app to learn. You send what you have; we do the digging.

1

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.

2

We build your decision report

We synthesize the history, market comps, and model-specific risks into a structured verdict — then a human who knows these cars reviews it before it ships.

3

You decide with confidence

Get a Buy / Negotiate / Walk Away verdict, 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?

Most reports come back within 24–48 hours. Concierge reports are prioritized. If a deal is moving fast, tell us in the intake and we'll do our best to match it.

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.
