How Motivyn works
Short answers about the site, written from how it actually behaves. If something here is wrong or missing, write to hello@motivyn.com.
Getting started
Search and model pages
- Searching for a carThe search box, the generation chips, what the results table shows, and the free daily limit of 40 searches.
- Reading a model pageThe headline sentence, the row of numbers, the price chart, recent sales, the by model year table, and what the For sale now verdicts mean.
- Guided searchPick a make, a model and a generation, and see only sales and listings for that exact spec.
Valuation and comparison
- Running a valuationWhat the valuation report shows, what fair market value is based on, and what the verdict and confidence labels mean.
- Comparing two carsPut two models side by side, each with its own year window, and see which one wins on price, trend, volume and entry cost.
- The Spread IndexThe gap between recent auction results and dealer asking prices, by model. A price comparison, not a profit figure.
- The VIN decoderBuild details from a 17 character VIN, one at a time or in batches, using the US government vehicle database.
