The gap is reconditioning, inspection and margin, shown. Negative equity goes on the Deal Truth in the open.

Sellers get a Three too.

The file ends in a recommendation, and sometimes it's keep.

01 · Keep it

When the math says stay — we say so.

The maintenance forecast against the equity. If another winter in this car is the right call, the file says that, and it ends there. No sale.

02 · Sell for speed

The bottom of the range — this week.

Collected at your door, paid before we leave the driveway. You trade certainty for the last few hundred dollars, and the file shows exactly how many.

03 · Sell for value

The top of the range — on the market's clock.

We test demand quietly first — no listing, no photos of your driveway online — and come back when the number is there.

Not trading — just wondering what's parked outside? The equity check gives you the number before it asks for anything.

I don't lowball; the comparables would show it. Negative equity is one readable line on the Deal Truth.
