We discuss what you need from a used car, timeline, budget, and choose which package fits your needs.

At this stage, you share the car you’re considering or the factors that are important to you that may point to a specific make/model or let us help you choose if you select our Full Concierge package.

We evaluate the available informaiton about the vehicle, analyze the asking price against market, identify relevant risks and unresolved questions, and prepare your ExactQuest assessment report.

You’ll receive a clear recommendation on whether to go ahead with your chosen used car, negotiate, or walk away.

Depending on your package, you’ll receive valuable recommendation or direct assistance when buying your used car.

After you’ve bought your car, we also offer a 30-day or 60-day follow-up, depending on the package, which includes paperwork guidance, and any other general updates.

Our recommendations are made from the buyer’s perspective. We do not represent dealerships or sellers.

Our recommendations are based on structured research, careful evaluation and analysis. We distinguish documented facts, third-party information, analytical conclusions and unresolved questions.

You’ll receive straightforward recommendations that explain what we found and why it matters.

We commit to performing the services included in your selected package using our structured research and assessment process. Used vehicles involve uncertainties, including incomplete or inaccurate third-party information, undisclosed vehicle conditions and future mechanical failures. For that reason, ExactQuest does not guarantee a vehicle’s condition, future reliability, purchase price, repair costs or savings.
