How should I compare two used vehicles without mixing unlike evidence?

Compare vehicles on the same axes: where each sits in its value range, what is verified versus claimed, what still needs inspection, and what each finding would cost you.

Do not average a strong price with weak evidence. A cheaper asking price can be the more expensive decision once unknowns are named.

Use one report per vehicle and keep versions intact if you re-run later. The read you acted on should still be there afterwards.

Choose the vehicle whose remaining conditions you are willing to clear — not the one that merely feels closer.
