The rating compares prices only: it doesn't know about this engine's common problems.
What to do
Read the rating alongside the report's known problems and repair costs.
Days on market
A car that has been listed for weeks may have a reason it hasn't sold.
What to do
Use the time on market and the report's costed problems to negotiate.
Title status
Salvage or rebuilt titles cut resale value and can hide poor repairs.
What to do
Confirm the title is clean and in the seller's name before you pay anything.
Frequently asked questions
About checking a CarGurus listing.
What does Carvizia add to the CarGurus deal rating?
The deal rating compares the price with similar cars. Carvizia looks at the car itself: its exact engine and transmission, their common problems, the maintenance due and their cost, then gives a fair price.
Does the report include recalls?
Yes. The report lists recalls from the official NHTSA database for the model. Check open recalls for this exact car with its VIN on nhtsa.gov.
Is the report useful for a certified pre-owned car?
Yes. A CPO warranty covers some repairs for a limited time; the report shows which problems this powertrain is known for and what's due after the warranty ends.
