Simple by design

From VIN to buying guidance in four steps.

You do not need to know cars. OpenHood asks for plain-English information and handles the complicated parts behind the scenes.

01

Scan the VIN

Take a photo of the VIN or type it in. OpenHood identifies the vehicle for you.

02

Enter the deal

Add the seller’s asking price, odometer and city. That’s enough to start.

03

Add concerns

Describe anything that worries you. Add up to five photos only when a photo is useful.

04

Get the answer

See what the market says, where the asking price sits, and what a reasonable offer looks like.

More than a price lookup

Information you can actually use while negotiating.

OpenHood is built around the question that matters when you are standing beside a used vehicle: “Is this asking price justified, and what should I offer?”

Market value

Understand the estimated value range and where the seller’s price sits inside it.

Marketplace comparisons

See nearby Kijiji and AutoTrader asking-price examples when matching listings are available.

Repair context

Common visible concerns are translated into plain English with reasonable repair-cost ranges where possible.

Negotiation guidance

Get a suggested starting offer, target purchase range and clear explanation of the numbers.

Built for the moment that matters

Do not just get a number.
Understand the deal.

A valuation range by itself is not enough. OpenHood explains whether the seller is high, fair or favourable, then turns that into an actionable buying range.

  • 01 Compare asking price with the market midpoint
  • 02 Account for reported concerns and repair exposure
  • 03 Use live marketplace examples as a reality check
  • 04 Explain the result in plain English
Example buying guidance FAIR PRICE
Seller wants$14,900
Market midpoint$14,250
Suggested first offer$12,900
Target purchase range $13,500 – $14,200
OpenHood explains why the range makes sense instead of leaving you with a raw valuation number.
