CONNECTED NOWVIN decoding
NHTSA vPIC is queried only when Decode VIN is pressed.
REQUIRED FOR LIVE PRICEListing provider
Current ask and odometer remain user-entered until a licensed Canadian connector is live.
MODEL GUARDRAILTransparent limits
The app never treats a seller snapshot as live. Missing or stale inputs stay visible.
WHAT THE MODEL CONTROLS
Anchor + relative effect.
The live VIN decode identifies the year, make, model, and available specifications. Completed auction outcomes supply the relative condition and odometer adjustment applied to the selected Canadian market cell.
WHAT THE RANGE MEANS
How the range is built.
The range combines the matched-market spread in the Canadian anchor with the condition model’s temporal-test residuals. Both are measured from data. Neither is a guarantee that the final sale price falls inside the range.
WHAT STILL NEEDS A HUMAN
Inspection + negotiation.
User-entered condition is not a verified inspection. Options, hidden damage, taxes, fees and negotiation can materially change the completed price.
