Testimonials

Clients used to ask for a PPI on every sight-unseen car. Now I attach a Carnostic report; it answers 90% of their questions, and deals close two days faster on average.

Jasmine | Redwood City, CA

Boutique classic-car dealer
Carnostic nailed the sweet-spot range on my 2005 Lotus Elise. Their $41-45 k estimate let me set my mental limits for the maximum amount I'm willing to bid and yes, I won it at $42.2 k. Worth it for the stress it saved alone.

Marcus | Seattle, WA

Addicted to buying cars on Bring a Trailer
Carnostic’s report said my truck should hammer in the high $8 K range; it closed at $8.4 K two days later. The detailed condition scorecard made last-minute bidders confident I was not misrepresenting my truck.

Rob | Portland, OR

Sold his truck on Bring a Trailer
We list 15-20 classic cars a month and Carnostic’s reports have cut buyer back-and-forth in half. People see the restoration table and stop asking "what’ll it cost to sort the brakes".
