A personalized car-buying planning guide. You answer a short questionnaire about your driving, budget, credit, and timeline, and we generate a plan: vehicle paths ranked honestly, readiness gauges, the real five-year cost, financing compared, a negotiation playbook, and a dated timeline to purchase.

It recommends paths — new, lightly used, certified, older used, or lease, paired with a vehicle class and age band — rather than a specific model. The plan tells you how to use public reliability, safety, and fuel-economy data to narrow to specific vehicles yourself.

No. The plan explains how loans, leases, and ownership costs typically work and what to check, but your lender sets your terms, an independent mechanic should inspect any used car, and the IRS and your state decide incentive eligibility.

They're approximate ranges informed by public sources like AAA's annual ownership-cost studies, fueleconomy.gov, and consumer-protection guidance from the FTC and CFPB. Your market, vehicle, driving, and insurer will change them — always get real quotes.

The plan will say so. If your credit, down payment, or current loan balance would make a purchase expensive, the timing gauge and the pitfalls section tell you what to fix first and how long it typically takes.

During our introductory period every level is free.

2-6 minutes to answer, and the plan is emailed within a few minutes after that.

We only use your answers to generate your plan, and we deliver it by email. We don't sell your information.
