THE REPORT
COMES FIRST.
Every vehicle on our floor is published with its full BidBetter intelligence report — market comps, title flags, risk and confidence scores, and a written buy/pass recommendation.
What a report includes
- Vehicle snapshot
Year, make, model, decoded options, mileage, original MSRP.
- Verified facts
Build decode, title state, ownership chain when available, service intervals.
- Market position
Asking price vs. verified 90-day comparable-sale band.
- Comparable sales
Recent platform sales with date, miles, color, and price.
- Known caveats
Paintwork, recalls, service gaps, anything we noticed — disclosed.
- Ownership cost
Next major service, tire life, insurance band, big-ticket horizons.
- Risk + confidence scores
Numeric scores with reasoning, not just a sticker.
- Buy / pass / watch
A written recommendation — and the math behind it.
How scores work
A 0–100 score where lower is safer. It combines title state, accident history, mileage anomalies, paint readings, open recalls, service gaps, and any disclosure red flags the listing skipped. Every number is paired with the specific finding behind it.
- 0–25 · Low risk — clean across the board.
- 26–50 · Low–Moderate — minor disclosed items.
- 51–75 · Caution — material findings requiring negotiation.
- 76–100 · High — proceed only with eyes open.
A 0–100 score for how complete the data is. High confidence means strong comp depth, full service records, clear title chain, and unambiguous photos. Low confidence is a flag in itself — it means the deal needs more diligence, not less.
- 80–100 · High — decision-grade data.
- 60–79 · Moderate — workable with a PPI.
- < 60 · Thin data — get more before committing.
Why it protects buyers
You see what the listing didn't say — before you wire money, not after.
Every report ends in a buy / pass / watch with the math behind it.
We don't ship a different report to buyers. The desk and the buyer see the same thing.
Disclosure philosophy
If we wouldn't want to read about it from a buyer's chair, we don't write it from a seller's chair. Paintwork goes in the report. Open recalls go in the report. Service gaps go in the report.
The reports are informational and do not replace your own pre-purchase inspection — but they make sure you walk into that inspection knowing what to look for.
