Question 1

How does CarVeil grade a car deal?

Accepted Answer

CarVeil compares the listed price against national benchmark data from thousands of comparable listings. The score (0–100) maps to a letter grade from A+ to F. An A means the deal is priced well below market. An F means the price is significantly above what comparable vehicles sell for.

Question 2

What is The Desk?

Accepted Answer

The Desk is CarVeil's AI deal council — five specialized advisors that analyze your deal from every angle: price vs. benchmark, dealer tactics, trade-in value, fee inspection, and negotiation strategy. It concludes with a structured verdict on what to do before you sign.

Question 3

What is CarVeil Watch?

Accepted Answer

CarVeil Watch monitors up to 4 vehicles. It checks market conditions weekly and alerts you when inventory builds, days on lot climbs, or prices move into your target range — signaling when timing favors a buyer.

Question 4

What does the Act / Wait / Watch signal mean?

Accepted Answer

Act means the deal scores well and market timing is favorable — inventory is up or the car has been sitting. Wait means the price is above market or a recent price drop suggests more movement is coming. Watch means there is insufficient data to signal confidently, or conditions are neutral.

Question 5

How does CarVeil get its benchmark data?

Accepted Answer

CarVeil benchmarks are built from two sources: national listing data across thousands of active listings, and closed deal prices submitted by CarVeil users. The listing data shows what dealers are asking. The submitted deals show what buyers actually paid. Both are used to score your deal.

Question 6

Is CarVeil free to use?

Accepted Answer

The core deal grade, market benchmarks, and Act/Wait signal are free with no account required. Paid products (CarVeil Watch, Decision Bundle, and The Desk) unlock additional features including payment decoding, full AI council, and market monitoring.

Question 7

Does CarVeil work for all makes and models?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CarVeil covers all makes and models — domestic, import, luxury, and mass market. Benchmark depth varies by vehicle; popular models have more comparison data than rare trims.

Question 8

What is the Decision Bundle?

Accepted Answer

The Decision Bundle ($14.99 one-time) unlocks the full deal decode for one vehicle: all benchmark tabs, payment decoder, lease term breakdown, and negotiation intel. No subscription. No recurring charge.
