Have an agent research a used car from its listing link

Drop in a used-car listing link and let an agent dig in: what the model is known for, the car's damage history and the questions to ask before you call the seller.

What the bot does

  1. Opens the listing and pulls out the make, model, year, mileage and VIN if shown.
  2. Researches common problems for that model and year.
  3. Looks up the car's damage and history record.
  4. Gives you a short report with red flags and questions for the seller.

What you end up with

A one-page report on the car, its history and what to ask, before you spend time on a viewing.

Copy this prompt 
Research this used car for me: [listing link]. Pull out the make, model, year, mileage and VIN if shown. Tell me the common problems for this model and year, what the history or damage record shows (say which site you checked), and anything in the listing that doesn't add up. End with 5 questions to ask the seller. Don't contact the seller.

Watch out

  • Some history reports are paid. The agent should tell you which source it used and not buy anything without asking.
  • The source post also had a second agent phone the seller. Decide yourself before letting a bot call anyone for you.
