Define the job
Start with passenger, cargo, climate, commute, parking, and ownership needs—not a badge.
01 / The route
Four checkpoints between interest and decision.
Price the whole picture
Include taxes, insurance, fuel or charging, financing, maintenance, and likely repairs.
Inspect the evidence
Review condition, history, features, documentation, and an independent inspection when appropriate.
Slow down the paperwork
Read the agreement, confirm totals, and resolve unclear terms before committing.
02 / Comparison desk
A shortlist needs more than a price column.
Use consistent questions across every option. A useful comparison records what you know, what you still need to verify, and which trade-offs actually matter.
