Your pocket checklist β for before the inspection, during it, and right before you agree to any number.
Do these before anyone visits your car.
Watch quietly. Tick what you actually see happen.
Tap what they said. Read what to say back.
"That was already visible in my photos. My price already accounts for it β please check your notes."
"I disclosed this in writing before you came. Nothing has changed since then."
"That was in my message too. If it wasn't priced in already, show me the number in writing now."
"Compared to what, exactly? Nothing's changed since the photos I sent. What's the new number, and why?"
"That estimate was based on what I disclosed. If you found nothing new, let's go back to the number you confirmed in writing."
"Then I'll leave it for now and think about it. I know what my car is worth, so I'm in no rush to accept less."
See the exact gap before you decide.
One fair price for used cars.
The verdict is never for sale.
