Trim: enter the version or package if you have it, like SE, XLE, Sport, or Limited.
Mileage: enter the odometer reading or the closest number shown in the listing or buyer's order.

Helpful for comparing value later.

The price before taxes, fees, trade-in, or down payment.

Optional: make the value check smarterVIN, ZIP code, seller type, and car condition

Skip this if you do not have the details yet. Add them later when you want a stronger premium review.

VIN: 17-character vehicle identification number. You can find it on the listing, title, windshield, or buyer's order.

ZIP code: enter the ZIP where the vehicle is being sold or where you are shopping. This helps compare local pricing and lenders.

Used to compare pricing in the local market.

Seller type: choose whether the car is from a brand dealership, independent dealer, or private seller.

This helps separate dealer offers from private seller scenarios.

Car condition: choose new, certified pre-owned, or used based on the listing or seller.

Choose the closest option. Certified pre-owned usually means inspected and backed by a program.

Step 2

Loan and deal numbers

Dealer Fee: dealership paperwork or administrative charge. Enter the doc fee shown on the buyer's order or contract. It is not a government tax.

Enter 0 if there is no dealer/doc fee.

Sales taxes: enter the tax amount shown in the buyer's order, worksheet, or estimate. Do not enter the tax rate, enter the dollar amount.

Estimated or quoted tax amount.

Registration and title fees: enter the government tag, plate, title, or registration charges shown on the contract.

Tags, title, plates, and registration.

Down payment: the amount you plan to pay upfront in this scenario. Enter the amount you want to test, not necessarily all the cash you have.

Try a low, realistic amount first. You can increase it later if it improves the deal.

APR: annual percentage rate for the loan. Enter the percentage shown by the dealer or your estimate if you are testing a scenario.

Try multiple APRs to compare scenarios.

Loan term: how many months you would make payments. Common examples are 48, 60, 72, or 84 months.

Example: 48, 60, 72, or 84.

Trade-in value: enter the amount the dealer is giving you for your current car. You can find it in the buyer's order or appraisal line.

How much the seller gives you for your current car.

Payoff amount: if you still owe money on your current car, enter the remaining balance the dealer or lender must pay off.

Only if you still owe money on the trade-in.

Use this after you review the price, APR, term, taxes, fees, down payment, and trade-in values.
