What is inside
Everything a good mechanic mate would tell you
29 structured sections in every report — including estimated fair value & price assessment, known common problems, questions to ask the seller, overall recommendation — see them all in the sample report.
Fair-value pricing
See the asking price against a realistic market range and comparable listings.
Red flags
Known model issues, seller-risk signals, missing paperwork, and costly watch-outs are surfaced early.
Negotiation advice
Walk in with a target price, fallback position, and plain-English seller questions.
Comparables
Relevant market examples give context beyond a single listing's claims.
Safety & reliability
Practical ownership notes cover servicing, recalls, common faults, and safety considerations.
Inspection checklist
A buyer-friendly checklist helps you inspect, compare, and spot expensive problems.
Buy like a pro
Walk in like you have done this a hundred times
Sellers can tell when a buyer knows the car's weak spots, the fair price, and the questions that matter. An Autovette report puts that preparation in your pocket before you ever pick up the phone.
- Know the model's known problems before the seller mentions them
- Arrive with a target price and a walk-away number
- Inspect with a checklist instead of a gut feeling
Where it fits
The A$2 check, the history report, the inspection — and this

§
Honest by design
Autovette reports are AI-generated guidance, not a substitute for a physical inspection, PPSR certificate, or independent mechanical check. When we are not sure, we say so and list the sources behind the report.
FAQ
Fair questions, straight answers
Is this a substitute for a mechanic?+-
No. Autovette is buying guidance, not a physical inspection, PPSR certificate, or mechanical check. It tells you what to verify and how confident it is.
How is this different from a $2 revs (PPSR) check?+-
A PPSR check is an official certificate about one car's finance, write-off, and stolen status — and you should absolutely get one (A$2 at ppsr.gov.au; the report reminds you). Autovette answers a different question: is this actually a good buy? Fair value, the model's known problems, what to check, and what to offer.
Where does the report's data come from?+-
Reports are AI-generated analysis of the listing you supply plus published pricing and model information. Every report carries an honest confidence score, and when the listing is thin the report says exactly what lowered its confidence instead of guessing.
What if the report gets something wrong?+-
Tell us. Refunds are reviewed through support and, when approved, are processed back to the original payment method. Reports also show their confidence and sources, so you can see how firm each conclusion is before you rely on it.
What kinds of listings work?+-
Most Australian used-car listings work well, including dealer pages and common marketplaces. If a listing is thin, the report will say where confidence is lower.
Do I need a subscription?+-
No. It is one report at a time for A$9.99.
How fast is it?+-
Most reports are ready in about three minutes once payment is complete, with live status shown in your account.
Can I access reports later?+-
Yes. Your reports stay in your account, with search and mobile access for checking details while inspecting a car.
