Free Car Deal Checker — Is This a Good Price?

The Deal Checker runs the numbers a dealer hopes you won't: what you're actually paying versus MSRP, what the real out-the-door price looks like once every fee is stacked in, and whether anything in the deal smells off. Enter what's in front of you before you sign anything, not after. It takes about two minutes and costs nothing.

  • Enter the vehicle by VIN or year/make/model, plus your ZIP code so we can factor in regional tax rates
  • Add the asking price, any add-ons or warranty costs, and the dealer fees listed on the quote sheet
  • Enter your financing details — APR and loan term — or skip this if you're paying cash
  • Add your trade-in value if you have one
  • Get back an MSRP comparison, an estimated out-the-door price, an estimated monthly payment, and any warning flags on the deal
  • Review your basic Deal Score — a quick read on whether this offer is solid, mediocre, or worth walking away from

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the Deal Checker?

It's an estimate, not a guarantee. We calculate based on the numbers you enter and standard fee/tax structures, but we're not pulling live inventory data or verifying the dealer's paperwork line by line. Treat the output as a strong gut-check before you negotiate, not a final number.

What does 'out-the-door price' actually mean?

It's the total you'll pay to drive off the lot — vehicle price plus taxes, registration, dealer fees, add-ons, and any warranty costs, minus your trade-in value. It's the number that matters, because the sticker price and the out-the-door price are rarely the same thing.

What counts as a warning flag?

Things like fees that look inflated or duplicated, add-ons priced well above typical cost, or a price-to-MSRP gap that doesn't match what the vehicle's condition and mileage would suggest. A flag doesn't always mean walk away — it means ask questions.

How is this different from the $79 Vehicle Intelligence Report?

The Deal Checker gives you a fast, self-serve estimate using the numbers you provide. The Vehicle Intelligence Report goes further: it pulls real live market comps for your specific vehicle, and a human reviews the deal to build you an actual negotiation strategy — what to say, what to push back on, and what a fair price looks like in your market. Use the free tool to get oriented. Use the paid report when you're ready to negotiate for real.

Do I need to enter my trade-in and financing info?

No, both are optional. Leave trade-in blank if you're not trading anything in, and skip APR/loan term if you're paying cash. The tool will still give you an MSRP comparison and out-the-door estimate either way.

Does the Deal Checker negotiate for me?

No — it's diagnostic, not a negotiator. It tells you where you stand. If you want someone to actually work the deal on your behalf, that's what AutoEase's concierge service and the Vehicle Intelligence Report are for.
