Know the Risk Before You Buy the Vehicle.
See hidden mechanical exposure, protect your bid and understand recon risk before acquisition.
An OEM-level CarDr scan reads across the vehicle's modules in about 15 seconds — surfacing current and stored codes, warning-light state, recent reset activity and repair exposure while the unit is still a decision, not an inventory problem.
Every acquisition decision is a mechanical bet. Scan before you place it.
The same OEM-level scan supports the trade lane, the wholesale buy, the recon plan and the inventory decision that follows.
Trade appraisal
Establish mechanical condition at appraisal instead of discovering it in recon.
Wholesale acquisition
Scan before you commit capital on a unit you have never driven.
Pre-bid decision
Bring diagnostic evidence to the bid rather than a visual walkaround.
Hidden mechanical faults
Stored and pending codes across modules a generic reader never touches.
Recent reset detection
Readiness and reset signals that indicate a history cleared shortly before sale.
Repair exposure
Estimated repair cost bands tied to the specific findings on that VIN.
Recon planning
Route the unit to the right shop the day it lands, with a known scope.
Inventory profitability
Fewer surprise recon bills, fewer aged units, cleaner front-end margin.
Disclosure confidence
Document what you knew, when you knew it, on every unit you retail.
Don't just scan the vehicle. Know whether you should buy it — and what risk you should reserve for.
A code list tells you what the vehicle reported. A purchase decision needs to know what it will cost, what it puts at risk, and what you should hold back from the bid.
Dealer Purchase Risk Intelligence
From diagnostic codes to a buying decision. The forthcoming Dealer Appraisal Report — CarDr IQ Value will translate OEM-level diagnostic results into acquisition risk, repair exposure and a recommended dealer action.
This report is in development. It is not currently available for purchase or access.
Overall Purchase Risk
A single risk position for the vehicle as an acquisition, not just as a scan.
Purchase Risk Score
A scored view of exposure intended to be compared unit to unit.
Dealer Action
A recommended buying posture stated in dealer language.
Executive Dealer Decision Summary
The short version a buyer can read standing in the lane.
Repair exposure
Estimated cost the unit is carrying before it is retail-ready.
Root-Cause Purchase Risk
Findings grouped by underlying cause rather than by raw code count.
Purchase triggers
The specific findings that should change the decision or the number.
Bid / reserve considerations
What to hold back against the identified exposure.
Diagnostic integrity / reset status
Whether the diagnostic history appears intact or recently cleared.
Recommended Dealer Workflow
What to do next: verify, recon, re-price, wholesale or pass.
These figures are example results from a single draft report on one specific vehicle. They are not CarDr performance claims and should not be read as typical results.
