What Avturo Catches
Description vs. Photo Mismatches
Flags when a seller says "no accidents" but photos show inconsistent panel gaps or paint colors.
Suspicious Pricing
Alerts you if a car is priced far above or below market value, indicating a potential scam or hidden issue.
Missing or Obscured VIN
Highlights when a seller avoids showing the VIN, a common tactic to hide a car's history.
Model-Specific Problem Patterns
Warns you about known issues for that specific model and year, like transmission problems or oil leaks.

Book a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)
For your top choice, a PPI is non-negotiable. It’s the final step to confirm the car's mechanical health.
The cars you will see most, and what to check on each
Each guide covers a documented failure point, what it costs to fix, and the check that catches it in a driveway.
All documented problems by make. Also: how to read a VIN, what a salvage or rebuilt title means for the price, and what an inspection covers.
Facebook Marketplace FAQ
Will Avturo work on private-seller listings without a VIN?▼
Yes. You can paste text or upload screenshots; we’ll still surface red flags and questions. Add the VIN when available for deeper checks.
Can Avturo tell me the exact price to offer?▼
Avturo provides a fair-value range and risk context; the final offer should reflect condition after inspection and local demand.
Do I still need a pre-purchase inspection (PPI)?▼
Yes. Avturo triages risks, but a PPI confirms mechanical condition.
Buying on Craigslist or OfferUp instead? Each has its own guide. Before you go: is this a real private seller?, how much to offer, and what an accident on the history report means.
