— What we catch —

Most Carlarity reports surface a fee, financing, or pricing line that wasn't in the buyer's favor — often costing thousands.

Run a report before signing anything.

— What Carlarity adds —

A vehicle history report tells you where the car has been. Carlarity tells you whether the deal is fair.

Vehicle history report

Accidents, ownership, service records, title status. Where the car has been.

Carlarity

Pricing vs market, financing terms, equity timeline, depreciation outlook. One verdict, before you commit.

Carlarity shows you the real cost of a car before you sign.

— Five of the eight verdicts you might see —

What a Carlarity report says, in one word.

Every report ends with one of eight verdicts, modulated by data confidence. Below are the five most common forms — see all eight on the Verdicts page.

  • BUY — Exceptional deal — lock it in.
  • NEGOTIATE — Workable deal — price is the lever.
  • VERIFY FIRST — Promising deal — pricing data is thin, so verify with independent comps first.
  • WALK — Weak deal — walk or radically restructure.
  • INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE — Data isn't strong enough for a confident verdict. We label it rather than guess.

Verdicts derived from your VIN, the live market, and your deal terms.

— The question we're building the category on —

Did you run the Carlarity?

The question buyers ask each other before signing. The question dealers know is coming.

Our goal: become the standard pre-purchase check for the U.S. used-car market.

Where the receipt-checking comes from.

Works for every buying context

Whatever way you’re buying.

Even when the price is fixed, the decision isn’t.

  • Negotiable dealer price — the sticker is a starting point. You get the walk-away number before you sit down.
  • Online fixed-price (Carvana, CarMax, online checkouts) — no haggling on the car, so the verdict turns on fees, add-ons and financing.
  • Private seller — no dealer fees and no finance office, but no safety net either. Price is everything.
  • Already purchased — inside the return window there is still a decision to make.
  • Not sure yet — start anyway. We run the neutral case and you set the deal type later.
