Frequently asked questions
Good to know.
What is CarFitMe, and what does the report show?
CarFitMe helps you understand what a car may cost to own, which problems are common for that exact version and mileage, and what to inspect before you buy. The report also includes a true cost-of-ownership estimate, projected resale value, and a personalized inspection plan.
Is this the same as a VIN history report?
No. A VIN report mainly tells you what happened to the car in the past. CarFitMe helps you estimate what it may cost going forward and which issues are common for that specific version.
How does CarFitMe work?
Install the browser extension and start an analysis without leaving the listing, or paste a listing URL on our website. CarFitMe uses the details in the listing to build the report.
How is the cost to own calculated?
We include fuel, scheduled maintenance, a reserve for likely repairs, required insurance (an estimate based on your profile), taxes, inspections, and tires. Monthly and annual projections depend on your yearly mileage and clearly stated assumptions. Purchase price and depreciation are shown separately.
How does CarFitMe know what could go wrong?
CarFitMe is powered by our own growing database of vehicle faults and wear-prone parts. It connects specific versions, engines, and mileage ranges with their known problems and repair costs. So instead of a generic model overview, you get a risk forecast relevant to the car you are considering.
Can CarFitMe tell me exactly what will break and when?
No. CarFitMe shows risks associated with the specific version, the mileage ranges where they are more likely, and estimated repair costs. It is a forecast, not a promise that a part will fail.
Does CarFitMe replace a pre-purchase inspection?
No. CarFitMe helps you prepare for one with questions for the seller, checks you can do yourself, and a focused list for the repair shop. A physical inspection is still needed to confirm the car’s actual condition.
Which car marketplaces does CarFitMe support?
CarFitMe works with listings on autoplius.lt, autogidas.lt, AutoScout24, and mobile.de. More marketplaces are coming soon. Report detail depends on the information included in the listing.
