Email furniturewala@yahoo.com. It is a real address read by a person, and questions are usually answered the same day. If something in the app is wrong — a price, a spec, a figure that looks off — say which car and what you expected, and it gets fixed in the next release.
Fuel economy, engine, drivetrain and CO2 come from the EPA's public dataset, which covers every vehicle it has rated since 1984 and is built into the app. Crash ratings come from NHTSA when you open a car's page. Prices, cargo volumes, warranty terms and the written verdicts are our own research.
Because the EPA publishes no prices. Without a price there is no depreciation, which is usually the largest cost of owning a car — so for vehicles outside the curated fifty the app shows fuel cost only and says so, rather than making something up.
It is an estimate, and the gap between two cars is far more reliable than either total. Insurance depends on the driver much more than on the car, and nobody knows what the used market will pay in five years. Everything the app cannot know it asks you for, and shows those assumptions next to the answer rather than burying them.
They are graded judgements, not measurements — a considered read of a car's reputation. They drive the depreciation and repair lines of the estimate, and they are the part of the app most worth arguing with. The app labels them as judgements wherever they appear.
No. They are approximate base MSRP including destination, checked on the date shown on each car's page. Manufacturers reprice mid-year, options add up quickly and dealers do as they please. Use them to sort and compare, not to negotiate with.
Incentives start at zero on purpose. They depend on your income, where the car was assembled and where its battery came from, and the rules change. Put in what you are confident of actually receiving on the Costs tab and it applies to every car equally.
Yes, apart from crash ratings. All 50,242 vehicles, the cost model and your shortlist are on the device.
No. There is no account, no analytics and no tracking. See the privacy policy for the one network request the app makes and exactly what is in it.
