Photo Documentation

Inspector Summary

A well-maintained CR-V that presents honestly. No structural damage or accident indicators were found. All 14 modules scanned; the only code stored is a P0455 EVAP history code that was not active. The extended road test was uneventful. Front brakes and front tires should be budgeted right away, the passenger rear quarter was previously refinished to a good standard, and the Negotiation Brief below turns the documented repair costs into a suggested offer.
— Matevo inspector, Matevo

Negotiation Brief

Asking price: $27,900

Suggested offer: $26,400

Talking points for the seller

  • Front brake pads measured 2.5–2.7 mm — below the 3 mm service minimum and needed right away.
  • Front tires are at 4/32" with uneven wear, so tires and an alignment are due soon.
  • The valve cover gasket is seeping oil and will need replacement.
  • The passenger rear quarter was previously refinished — worth noting, even though the repair is good quality.
  • Documented near-term repairs total $1,250–$1,830; the suggested offer reflects the midpoint.
