Do not buy the badge—investigate the exact car. CarSleuth turns a listing URL, screenshot, VIN, vehicle-history report, or pasted vehicle details into an elegant, evidence-led buyer report.
It resolves the exact engine, transmission, battery, and drivetrain before judging reliability; maps costly failure modes; places the vehicle on its mileage-specific maintenance timeline; checks public VIN, recall, auction, accident, title, and listing clues; and examines repairability, fuel requirements, driving dynamics, ownership exposure, local value, and dealership transaction risk.
Standard and Deep investigations produce responsive self-contained HTML reports with a verdict card, score ring, value metrics, dealership grade, evidence tags, risk cards, cost tables, score bars, inspection priorities, negotiation guidance, and linked sources. A deterministic renderer owns the design, keeping generation fast and token-efficient. Rapid scans remain concise in chat.
CarSleuth keeps verified facts, recurring patterns, anecdotes, seller claims, and unknowns separate. It never treats a public VIN search as CARFAX, missing records as a clean history, or brand reputation as proof that a specific car is reliable.
Research-based decision support only. It does not replace an independent mechanical inspection or official ownership, title, lien, recall, insurance, and registration checks.
Example prompts
- “Create an elegant Standard HTML buyer report for this used-car listing.”
- “Compare these used cars by reliability, upcoming costs, driving feel, and value.”
- “Analyze this VIN and history report, then build a model-specific PPI checklist.”
