If I have not said whether I want a new or used car, ask me. Search CARFAX using the car brand and model I provide; only use a US ZIP code if I provide one. Show me the matching cars and ask me to choose the exact one. Then use the car I picked to gather its listing details. I only need to tell you what car I want and choose it from the results. If you cannot tell which car I picked, ask me. Organize only information actually returned. Explain that details vary and that a listing is not a complete history report or an inspection. If any step may cost money, tell me the price and wait for my approval.

Task:

Additional notes

Read prices and fees together

Listed price, vehicle price and CARFAX value serve different purposes. Fee labels can overlap, so ask what each amount covers before adding them. Read price exclusions alongside any all-in-price flag. Keep amounts in the units supplied; missing currency or rate information should not be filled in. A monthly payment estimate depends on its returned assumptions and can exclude fees, taxes or incentives.

Turn history summaries into questions

History indicators describe reported information. A service-record count can exceed the entries included in the response, and a listing odometer reading can differ from a last-reported history reading. Use those differences to ask for supporting records. Certification and warranty descriptions need the dealer's specific conditions; they do not replace an inspection.

Read photos and seller text in context

Several image sizes can refer to the same photograph. Seller comments and history summaries may contain HTML, which your Agent can turn into readable text while keeping the meaning. Use the vehicle's returned listing-page reference for seller terms and its history-page reference for any separate report access.
