3. Step 2: Review Car Details and Inspection Report

What’s in a Carly Car Listing?

Each car has a complete page with:

  • Photos: 20-40 high-resolution images (interior, exterior, under hood)
  • Basic info: Year, model, mileage, color, fuel type

  • 150-point inspection report: Each point documented (passed / needs maintenance)
  • Vehicle history: Accident record (if any), number of owners, service history
  • Warranty: Carly warranty details
  • Financing: Available payment options (cash, bank financing, Tamara)

How to Read the Inspection Report?

The inspection report is divided into 8 categories:

CategoryPoints
Exterior19
Interior38
Fluids7
Brakes7
Chassis19
Equipment18
Mechanical27
Structure15

Each point has a color:

  • 🟢 Green: 100% sound
  • 🟡 Yellow: Needs routine maintenance or has a minor note
  • 🔴 Red: Needs repair (these cars usually don’t get sold)

Important Tip

Look at the engine, transmission, brakes, and chassis points first. These are the costliest issues if something is wrong.
