- One stale or hard-to-price unit
- A written repair estimate only if one already exists
One simple comparison
- Missing facts and conflicts
- Recon assumptions and quote gaps
- Pricing questions for each unit
- What deserves another look

Why AvLu is different
Start with what is actually on the buyer’s desk.
See what is missing or does not add up. Work the real numbers. Then decide whether the deal is worth going any further.
Kelley Blue Book can give the buyer value context. CARFAX can give the buyer vehicle-history information. Both can be useful. AvLu comes first. It takes the listing or VIN, calls out what is missing or does not match, works the dealer costs, and shows how far the numbers let you go.
- What hits the desk
Listing, VIN photo, seller ask, and loose details
Start with exactly what the buyer has, even when the listing is incomplete or two details do not match.
- Work it in AvLu
See what is missing. Work the real numbers.
Keep identity, missing proof, details that do not match, recon, transport, fees, buffer, protected max, ask gap, and walk-away together.
- The buyer decides
Check it further, negotiate, or stop
Run a valuation, history, title, lien, inspection, quote, or test drive only when the deal earns the next step.
Give every buyer the same identity, proof, source, cost, margin, and decision checks.
Keep VIN details and listing claims side by side so a mismatch does not quietly turn into a fact.
Separate a planning allowance from a written quote, then show the dollar impact on the protected maximum.
Every report, seller request, inspection, or quote should answer something that is still missing.
Kelley Blue Book and CARFAX are independent services. Their names are used here only to explain where AvLu fits in the dealer review process.
From planning allowance to written evidence
See exactly what a written quote changes.
Know what the quote changes before you make the offer. The useful dealer proof is a short, inspectable chain from the original assumption to the documented repair total, the formula movement, and the final human decision.
- 1Capture the quoteProvider, date, scope, parts, labor, other costs, and documented total.
- 2Review all nine gatesIdentity, repair evidence, both estimates, variance, and formula impact stay tied together.
- 3Record consent separatelyPrivate, anonymized, and named publication are distinct choices.
- 4Leave the decision humanTitle, inspection, transport, and acquisition approval remain outside the packet.

What Your Team Sees Before It Goes Any Further
The deal, the numbers, what is still missing, and what happens next stay together.
Listing and VIN Photo Start
Paste the listing, type the VIN, or take a label photo. Supported barcode checks stay on the device, the photo is not uploaded or saved, and the buyer confirms every character.
Where It Came From
Record the source, capture date, seller claim, and review status.
What Is Missing or Does Not Match
Keep missing, unverified, and conflicting details in plain sight.
Work the Whole Number
Connect recon, transport, fees, buffer, and target gross.
Know Your Max and Walk-Away
Keep the protected max, ask gap, and walk-away line visible.
What to Check Next
Turn each missing piece into a seller, source, report, or inspection step.
The Dealer Makes the Final Call
Give the buyer a clear review without creating automatic approval.

What stays connected in AvLu.
Before the team goes any further, where the deal came from, the real costs, what is still missing, what to do next, and the final call stay together.
