Proof that can be checked
Listing facts, VIN or serial and hours, dated sold comparables, inspection and service evidence, plus a written repair quote with amount, provider, date, scope, and assumptions. Source and verification status stay attached.
BUY THE MACHINE, NOT THE UNKNOWN
Know your
number before
you buy.
For farm-equipment, vehicle, and equipment buyers who need a number they can defend, with evidence in view and a person accountable for the call.
AvLu is a deal-review workflow: it brings listing facts, proof gaps, repair and ownership costs, market evidence, and your target margin into one inspectable decision record. It is not a generic AI answer or an automatic purchase approval.

First, a little context.

Thank you. This helps.
Your experience helps me decide what deserves a place in AvLu.
If you have a real listing, you can send it separately for a closer look. Your survey answers and gift-card information won’t be carried over.
For the next tractor, truck, or machine
A number built from evidence, not a hunch.
AvLu is being built for people buying farm equipment, vehicles, and other used equipment. Put the ask beside what you can verify, what it may take to make ready, and the margin you need to protect. A human reviews the gaps and owns the decision.
The five-pass review
From listing to a defensible walk-away.
Farm machines have hours, attachments, service histories, transport needs, and seasonal carrying costs. Each stays visible instead of disappearing into one generated answer.
- 01 / CaptureKeep the listing facts
Record year, make, model, ask, seller, and source date without losing the original.
- 02 / VerifyCheck identity and condition
Track VIN or serial, hours, inspection, service records, and what remains unverified.
- 03 / EvidenceAttach dated support
Compare sold examples and document the repair quote, provider, date, scope, and assumptions.
- 04 / RecalculateProtect the economics
Include parts, transport, fees, reserve, seasonal carrying, target resale, and margin.
- 05 / DecideRecord a human call
Set the protected maximum and walk-away. Open proof means hold for human review.
Economics that stay protected
Work from all-in basis to target resale and margin. Deduct repairs, parts, transport, buyer fees, reserve, and seasonal carrying before setting a protected maximum. Export the assumptions and decision record for another person to inspect.
Why these questions?
I’m learning how people evaluate used vehicles and equipment today: what works, what takes effort, and what they do when information is missing. That helps me test my assumptions before building more.
Do I need to be a dealer or use AvLu?
No. Buyers, sellers, repair professionals, and people who work with used vehicles or equipment can all share useful experience. You don’t need to try the app first.
Will you contact me?
