Every claim carries its source state. Doubt converts into a named next step, not a hidden asterisk.
Delivered before tax vs the cheapest of 3 local comps — you keep $3,210. Same basis on both sides of every pair.
ModeledCarfax-verified: clean title, zero accidents, 1 owner. Personal-use car.
Dealer-confirmedNo independent inspection is on file. History being verified is not the same as a physical condition check — CarScout analyzes and verifies data, it does not inspect vehicles.→ Ask for inspection access — first email to send.
UnverifiedMiami, FL → Las Vegas is a served lane. The carrier quote is live — refresh before any hold.
LiveThe $20,758 delivered all-in is modeled — the dealer's written out-the-door price is unconfirmed.→ This is the first call to make.
ConfirmThis pick vs. the 3 local comps.
3 local matches. None is cheaper.
Matched on year ±1, trim family, mileage ±15K, and title screen:
- Cheapest of the 3: $21,998 — Henderson, NV
- Evidence label, stated plainly: “based on 3 similar nearby”
Methodology, in the open.
- Comp set: 3 matched local comps within 50 miles
- Benchmark: cheapest matched local comp — always the same basis on both sides (before-tax vs before-tax, all-in vs all-in, never mixed)
- Adjustments:mileage, trim options, doc-fee model, modeled tax in both columns (registration, title & plates are identical either way — excluded from both)
- Sources: dealer feeds · carrier quote cache · state fee tables
Delivery is part of the math.
Transport sits inside the delivered subtotal, and a quote is never a checkout button — the order of operations protects the buyer.
Miami, FL → Las Vegas, NV
Live provider response.
Production renders only provider-returned fields (quote ID, timestamp, equipment, terms) — nothing about this quote is invented. Order of operations: confirm OTD → refundable hold → book transport.
5 steps · OTD → Inspection → Hold → Transport → Inspect at delivery›
This 2023 Ford Escape is priced 16.4% below the Active median — nationwide. The move: lock the exact out-the-door number in writing before you commit to anything.
Step 1 — Confirm the seller's out-the-door price
Before holdWritten OTD with every fee itemized — sale price, doc fee, tax, title, and registration. No hold before this exists.
Hi — I'm interested in the 2023 Ford Escape (stock #6dfd63dd). Could you send me the complete out-the-door price in writing — sale price, doc fee, tax, title, and registration — before I arrange transport? Thank you.
Step 2 — Get inspection evidence
Buyer choiceRepair invoice, remote inspection, or third-party report — your choice of rigor. CarScout analyzes and verifies data; it does not perform or claim a physical inspection.
Step 3 — Place a refundable hold
With dealerOnce the OTD is confirmed in writing, ask about a refundable hold deposit to take the car off the market while transport is arranged. Most dealers accept $500–$1,000 fully refundable. Get the refund terms in writing.
You don't have to fly there to sign. Ask if the dealer supports RON — Remote Online Notarization lets you sign title and finance documents via secure video call (Mavsign if dealer-integrated, NotaryCamas an independent fallback, or FedEx overnight of the docs if the dealer doesn't support RON at all).
Step 4 — Book transport
With carrierOnce the hold is placed, book transport. CarScout works with Montway, an FMCSA-licensed transport partner — live quote, pickup window confirmed against the dealer's timeline.
Step 5 — Inspect at delivery
At homeWalk the car against the listing and bill of lading before the driver leaves.
If the OTD comes back inflated ›
If fees come back higher than the CarScout estimate, use this script to push back cleanly:
Thank you for the OTD breakdown. A few of the fees came in higher than expected. If there's flexibility on the doc fee or any dealer-added items, I'd appreciate the adjustment. Otherwise, please confirm this is your final out-the-door price — I'm ready to move forward once we're aligned on the total.
