PREVIEW
01 A GUIDE WITH A JOB TO DO
Turn the test drive into a better set of questions.
Used-car advice gets useful when it is specific. Each Carwise report is built around one model, year range, and engine—not a generic checklist for every car on the lot.
Known failures
What tends to go wrong on this year range and engine, grounded in hands-on repair experience.
Inspection checks
Where to look, what to listen for, and which questions to ask while you are with the car.
Walk-away signs
Warning signs that call for a closer professional inspection—or a better car.
A guide helps you know what to ask about. It is not a diagnosis of the specific vehicle.
02 HOW TO USE IT
A few pages. A sharper look under the hood.
Bring the guide along when you visit the car. Use it to focus your walk-around, ask better questions about service history, and decide when a mechanic should take a closer look.

04 A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you head to the lot.
What to expect from an independent buyer’s guide.
Is a Carwise guide a vehicle inspection?
No. A guide gives you model-specific things to look for. It cannot diagnose the individual car you are viewing, and it does not replace an independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
How specific is each report?
Each guide is made for a defined model, year range, and engine or powertrain. Check that the vehicle you are shopping for matches the guide before relying on its checklist.
What will a guide cost?
The planned price is $9–$19 per report, depending on the vehicle guide. The first guide is still in development; request a vehicle to help the owner plan future reports.
YOUR NEXT CAR STARTS WITH A QUESTION
Which car are you looking at?
Tell us the make, model, year, engine, and where to reach you. The owner reviews each request while preparing future guides.
