The info to judge a used car exists recalls, known issues, fair pricing but it's scattered across a dozen sites, so people end up guessing on a $10 20k decision. I built CarScorer to put it in one free score. Going live Tuesday 12:01 PT follow to get notified, and I'd love early feedback on what would make it a must-use.
I'm launching CarScorer here Tuesday a free tool that scores any used car's reliability by VIN (recalls, known issues, fair price). Before I do, I'm curious what this community checks first when buying used: recalls? owner count? a specific mechanical gotcha? Genuinely want to hear what's saved you or burned you.
CarScorer gives any used car one clear reliability score (0.5–10). Enter a VIN and it instantly pulls NHTSA recalls, known model-specific issues, owner-complaint patterns, and market pricing — normally scattered across a dozen tabs — into a single score plus a suggested fair offer.
Most tools give you a history report OR a price estimate. CarScorer combines reliability, recalls, and pricing into one buy / don't-buy answer. Free, no account needed for a basic check.
