The smart way to price and research a car.

An explained fair-price range plus deep AI research — from VIN or a few details, in a few seconds. Everything a serious buyer would look up, done for you.

Explained fair price

Every estimate shows a low / typical / high range, with the factors that pushed it there — mileage, trim, region, condition. Multi-signal composer blends real dealer listings, model-average, and owner-transaction data.

Local market signal

Real days-on-market and 30-day price trend for comparable cars in your ZIP. Know whether it's a buyer's or seller's moment — not just what the car is worth in the abstract.

Price over its life

See how your car has depreciated year by year, anchored on real MSRP and today's actual median. The chart tells the story a single number can't.

VIN decode + prefill

Paste any VIN — we decode year/make/model/trim via NHTSA and prefill the form. Marketcheck finds comps by VIN too, for better trim matching than by name.

AI reviewer summary

Claude reads the top pro reviews, YouTube videos, and owner threads for your exact trim — and gives you a clean synthesis of what people agree on, disagree on, and the overall vibe.

Common issues to watch

Model-specific problems from official NHTSA complaints and owner threads, ranked by severity with real quotes. Test-drive checklist you can screenshot.

What real buyers paid

Out-the-door prices extracted from Reddit owner threads. The number that matters when you're comparing dealer quotes — not just MSRP or a book value.

5-year total ownership cost

Depreciation + real EPA fuel + typical insurance + maintenance, itemized. The full picture of what this car actually costs to own, not just to buy.

Safety + recalls

Official NHTSA crash ratings for every seating position, plus every open recall campaign for this year, make, and model — always current.
