The report
A history report tells you where the car has been. Avturo tells you where it's going.
Carfax covers the past. Avturo reads the listing the way a mechanic would: what's known to fail on this exact year, what it's worth today, and what it'll cost to keep running.
Every flaw Avturo finds is money off the price.
Avturo checked the 2019 Honda CR-V EX above, asking $22,450, against our database of 121 documented failures, official NHTSA recall records, and 23 live listings. It priced 2 faults and the gap to market, $2,350 of leverage in all, then wrote the opener, $500 under the market median: “I can do $20,700 today.” Sixty seconds. One number to say out loud.
