Every report ends in one clear verdict. There are four families (with display variants that adapt to your buying mode and how strong the pricing evidence is):
| Verdict | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| BUY | The data supports it. Price is at or below market, fees are clean, financing is reasonable. | Move with confidence — and still skim the fee and financing sections before you sign. |
| NEGOTIATE | There's room. Price, fees, or rate has slack. | Use the negotiation points in your report — they tell you which lever to pull and what to say. |
| WALK | The gap is wide. Negotiation probably won't bridge it. | Better deals exist. Take the report to the next car — that's what multi-report bundles are for. |
| INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE | We couldn't get there — the pricing evidence isn't strong enough for a clean call. | The report tells you what's missing and what would unblock it. Verify independently before negotiating. |
Good to know
You may also see confidence-modulated variants — for example VERIFY FIRST, which appears when the deal shows promise but the pricing evidence behind it is limited. The verdict never pretends to more certainty than the data has. That's on purpose.
A verdict is a starting position, not a command
Carlarity gives you the same math the professionals use, scored honestly. But you're the one standing next to the car. The verdict plus your eyes and your mechanic's inspection beat any single source — including us.
