DEALERS HAVE USED THIS DATA FOR YEARS.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

Every dealership runs your trade-in through MMR, checks your credit tier before quoting a rate, and knows exactly what their inventory is worth down to the trim level. CarDealIQ puts that same intelligence in your pocket — before you sit down.

How it works

FROM THE LOT TO SIGNED — IN YOUR FAVOR

Four unfair advantages before you sign anything.

01
Decode the price sheet
Snap a photo or upload the dealer's itemized printout. AI reads every fee, add-on, and line item — and flags what's inflated.
02
See the real market value
Real regional sales data for that exact vehicle, trim, and mileage. Know immediately if you're being overcharged.
03
Know your rate first
Soft-pull pre-qualification with zero score impact. Walk in with your own APR so the F&I office can't mark it up.
04
Community intel
See what other buyers paid at that exact dealership. Crowdsourced fee alerts and dealer reputation — before you visit.
