Beforehand: Used Car Check

About this app

Buying a used car is stressful - you're never quite sure what you're walking into. Beforehand gives you a clear, research-backed verdict before you spend a cent or waste a Saturday on a dud.

Paste any used-car listing (or just the make and model) and Beforehand researches that exact car and hands you a plain-English report in seconds.

What you get in every report: • A clear 0–100 score and a blunt verdict — from STRONG OPTION to COOKED • The 3 things you can't miss on this specific car • A step-by-step inspection checklist - what to look, listen and feel for, from cold start to test drive • "Walk away if…" deal-breakers • A fair-price read and the realistic worst-case cost • Ready-to-send questions for the seller

Built for everyday buyers - no mechanic jargon, just what to actually check. Tuned for the Australian market.

Start free with 3 full reports.

Beforehand is decision-support, not a replacement for a professional pre-purchase inspection. It can't guarantee a car's condition - always get an independent inspection and do a PPSR/VIN, recall and ownership check before you buy.
