Real listing analysis

No guessing.
Just the numbers.

Otto reads the whole listing — price, history, specs and the things sellers leave out — and tells you where it lands against the market.

  • Fair price range and how far the ask sits from it
  • Owner count and title flags pulled from the history
  • Trim and spec check so you know what you're paying for

4.8 from early buyers

People who walked away from a bad one.

Scanned a truck at the lot and Otto flagged the transmission issue that generation is known for. Walked away.
Danny R. · First truck
It told me the car was $1,400 over range and gave me the sentence to say. The seller met me in the middle.
Priya S. · Bought a CR-V
I don't know cars at all. This is the first time I didn't feel like the easy mark.
Mel T. · First-time buyer
The known-issues list is the part I use most. I check every listing before I bother driving out.
Andre K. · Weekend shopper
Scanned six listings in one evening and only one was worth a test drive. Saved a whole weekend.
Sam W. · Shopping sedans
The dealer got quiet when I brought up the oil consumption complaints. Price came down.
Jordan L. · Negotiated $900 off

Never overpay for a used car again.
