How the Buyer Score Works

🛡

Reliability (65%)

Penalizes recalls, owner complaints, injuries, and deaths reported to NHTSA. A year with zero recalls and few complaints scores near 100.

💰

Depreciation Value (35%)

A vehicle that has already absorbed 4–6 years of depreciation sits in the value sweet spot — enough off original MSRP without excessive wear.

🏆

Buyer Score

Combined 0–100 score. 75+ is a strong buy. 58–74 is good. Below 44 suggests poor reliability or poor value for the price.

Data sourced from NHTSA Recalls API and NHTSA Complaints API. Updated daily. For individual vehicle history — accidents, title events, odometer — run a VIN check.
