CarScorer
Score any used car's reliability before you buy — free
CarScorer gives any used car one clear reliability score (0.5–10). Enter a VIN and it instantly pulls NHTSA recalls, known model-specific issues, owner-complaint patterns, and market pricing — normally scattered across a dozen tabs — into a single score plus a suggested fair offer. Most tools give you a history report OR a price estimate. CarScorer combines reliability, recalls, and pricing into one buy / don't-buy answer. Free, no account needed for a basic check.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm [first name], the maker of CarScorer.
I built this because researching a used car is a mess — you end up with a dozen tabs open: NHTSA for recalls, forums for "known issues," some other site for whether the price is fair. The info exists, it's just scattered, and most people buying a $10k+ car don't have hours to dig through it.
CarScorer puts it in one place. You enter a VIN (or make/model/year) and it instantly pulls NHTSA recall data, known model-specific issues, owner-complaint patterns, and market pricing, then gives the car a single 0.5–10 reliability score with a suggested fair offer. It's free, and you don't need an account for a basic check.
It's US vehicles only for now (runs on NHTSA data).
Genuinely want your feedback — and I'm curious: what's the one thing you always check before buying a used car? Recalls? Owner count? Something you learned the hard way?
Thanks for taking a look 🚗
Ran my old Civic's VIN through it and the reliability score actually lined up with what I've been dealing with for the last year. Love that it pulled the recall info and fair pricing into one view instead of me juggling five tabs.
