DealCheck

What it does

DealCheck Defender helps car buyers check the deal in front of them before signing. The mobile-first beta rebuilds the out-the-door price, checks sample APR and loan terms, flags fees and add-ons, explains what to challenge, and creates editable buyer-controlled wording backed by evidence. EV Mode covers battery warranty and health, real-world range, fast charging, recalls/software, replacement risk, FSD ownership, and depreciation. Fictional sample data only—no autonomous dealer contact.

A $0-start on-the-lot car-buying prototype that checks the out-the-door price, loan APR, fees, add-ons, and EV risks using clearly labeled sample data.

Scan the deal while you are still at the dealership. DealCheck rebuilds the out-the-door price, checks the loan, flags fees and add-ons, and gives you an evidence-backed next move. Use a buyer’s order, listing, or VIN. This prototype runs a fictional sample analysis only. No document is processed or stored. All results are prebuilt samplefrom dealcheck-beta-demo.spicy-bay-8527.chatgpt.site

  CarCheck – Car Buying Checklist App2024 · usefulchecklists.com · ▲164

  Hey HN! A few years ago my brother in-law was looking to purchase his first car. He was struggling to know what to look for when going to car dealerships and felt quite overwhelmed with the financial and practical decisions required. Not that I have any particular expertise with cars or the engineering involved, but through my own experiences purchasing cars and owning them I gave him some advice and "tips". As anyone would. Things only morphed from there, I spent the next couple of years in my spare time learning to code, researching, and developing CarCheck. It's been a journey! Hindsight…

  Hi everyone, we built a vehicle history report offering that I wanted to share and get some feedback on. It collects data from over 1,200 sources across North America and compiles to a single clean report like Carfax and Autocheck. We would really value any feedback from anyone currently in the researching/buying/selling phase - what pieces of information are / were essential in your recent purchases? Thank you!

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
