The Car Buying Assistant is a feature in the OBDeleven app designed to help you make confident decisions when buying a used car. It combines an AI-powered VIN lookup, an interactive used car checklist, and AI-driven reports to give you a detailed understanding of a car’s condition and potential issues before you purchase it.
How does a Car Buying Assistant work?
Using the Car Buying Assistant is effortless – you enter the car’s details, like the VIN, and the Assistant generates an AI-powered overview of potential issues based on mileage, model, and more. Plus, it gives you a step-by-step checklist of what to inspect when viewing the car.
What can I do with a Car Buying Assistant?
Here’s what the Car Buying Assistant helps you with:
VIN lookup: Get AI insights into potential car problems for the car’s mileage before you buy. Currently available for Volkswagen Group vehicles only.
Used car checklist: Use an interactive checklist to inspect key aspects of the car, from bodywork to engine health
AI-generated reports: Summarize the car’s condition so you can negotiate with sellers or decide on the purchase easier
What is VIN lookup?
The VIN lookup feature within the Car Buying Assistant allows you to input the car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The AI uses this data and other details like mileage to provide an overview of potential issues the car might face so you can spot red flags before buying.
Note: VIN lookup is currently available for Volkswagen Group vehicles only.
What is the used car checklist?
The used car checklist is an interactive tool that guides you through inspecting a used car. It walks you through what to check – inside, outside, under the hood – and then generates a report to help you decide. Perfect for first-time buyers or anyone who wants to stay sharp when buying a used car.
Can I save or share AI-generated reports from the Car Buying Assistant?
Yes. Save your reports directly in the OBDeleven app for future reference, or share them with a mechanic, friend, or family member for a second opinion.
What other features are planned for the Car Buying Assistant?
We’re just getting started. Future updates could include mileage validation, expanded car history insights, and even more tools to make car buying stress-free. Stay tuned for updates.
