The $300 to $900 line items dealers tuck into the contract, listed by name with what they actually cost and which ones to refuse outright.

// 04 · FAQ

Things buyers ask first.

Q1Is the report actually free?
Yes. The personalized report (target OTD, junk fee breakdown, and your score) is free and arrives in your inbox in 90 seconds. No card, no call.
Q2What if I want you to negotiate?
After your free report, you can hand it to our concierge team for a flat $997. We close the deal end-to-end, backed by a money-back guarantee — if we can't beat what you'd find on your own, you get the fee back.
Q3Does it work for used cars?
We work best on 2023+ vehicles, where there's typically the most room for negotiation and dealer leverage.
Q4How is this different from KBB or Edmunds?
Those tools show you a national midpoint. We show you what your exact deal should close at, in your ZIP, this week, and which line-item fees to push back on.
Q5Do you work in my state?
All 50. Regional fee data, tax handling, and DMV quirks are baked into every report.
Q6What's the catch?
No catch. The free report is genuinely free; it's the on-ramp to our paid concierge. Most buyers DIY successfully and never pay us a cent. We're fine with that.
