Digital Audit & Market Check: your listing put to the test

You have a specific advertisement in mind, on one of the major vehicle marketplaces for example. We assess the listing, the paperwork and the price against real market data before you travel to view the car. The efficient filter: save yourself pointless viewing trips.

What is the Digital Audit?

The Digital Audit is a dated assessment of one specific advertisement: you send us the link to the listing you are interested in, along with the paperwork available at that point. From that we produce an independent buying-decision analysis, before you view the car, including a market check: a remote assessment of the listing and its history, an asset check of the specification, the real price established from market data, and a fault forecast with a list of questions to ask.

From advertisement to dossier

How it works

Send the link to the advertisement

You send us the link to the advertisement you are interested in, from one of the major vehicle marketplaces for example, through the contact form with the subject Digital Audit.

Send the paperwork you have

You send us the paperwork available at that point, for example the service book, workshop invoices, inspection reports and anything the seller has told you so far.

Analysis & market check

We evaluate the details in the listing, the seller's statements, the service documentation and the photographs, and set them against the market data held in 911FINDER Market Monitoring & Analytics (MarqueScope).

Result as a PDF dossier

Usually within 24 hours of receiving the listing and the available paperwork you receive the Digital Audit with a pre-buy recommendation, a negotiating range and a prioritised inspection list. One bundled submission of further documents within seven calendar days is taken into account.

An advertisement is a claim

We check how much of it holds.

The Digital Audit is not a small preliminary technical inspection. It is a decision taken in advance, from the listing, the paperwork, the photographs and the market. Its value lies in avoiding the cost in travel, time and emotion, and in asking the right questions before you have already made up your mind. Typical patterns that come to light:

PatternWhat the audit picks upWhat it does for you
The specification does not add upThe listing names equipment that the photographs, or the specification recorded against the chassis number, do not confirm.You do not end up valuing a configuration the car does not actually have.
A shade stands out in a photographA difference between two body panels is flagged from the photographs alone, as a hypothesis to test at the viewing.The audit does not reveal the full extent of any damage, but it does prevent an uncritical viewing.
A low price has a reasonAn import, modifications, an incomplete history or obstacles to resale explain the gap to the market."Cheap" becomes a driver's car, a risk or a genuine opportunity, instead of a blanket statement.
Price history and days on marketRepeated reductions, moves between portals and a long time on the market become visible from the market data.You negotiate from knowledge of the market instead of gut feeling.
A claim without evidenceStatements such as "accident-free" or "only cosmetically refinished" are placed in one of three categories: evidenced, plausible or unverified.Open questions become conditions of purchase, rather than something the buyer has to prove later.

Not every pattern appears on every car. Whatever cannot be checked remotely is marked as unverified in the dossier and assigned to the inspection list for the viewing.

What is in it

A look at an example: 997.2 Carrera S

This is how deep a Digital Audit goes. The example below comes from a real instruction: a privately advertised 997.2 Carrera S, analysed before the viewing. Anonymised for discretion, without the chassis number, without names, without the listing details.

Inspection blocks by priority

01

Car, listing & seller

  • The basic data at a glance: model, engine, gearbox, colours, mileage, chain of owners
  • Executive summary: structural strengths and risk factors at a glance
  • The seller's profile and the marketing context, including whether they are private or in the trade
  • Claims in the listing against the evidence: marketing meets the facts, statement by statement
02

History & documentation

  • Documented work, investment and modifications, including the cost of reversing them
  • Origin and specification, in this example an import with the inspection points that go with it
  • Maintenance and service history: every documented entry on a timeline
  • Documentation quality: an assessment of the evidence, with gaps named openly
03

Engineering & substance

  • Technical risk assessment: known to be sound, open, or not conclusively checkable
  • Bodywork & substance: an evaluation of the photographs in the listing
  • Specification & value relevance: what is on board, and what it is worth
  • A structured risk classification: low, medium and elevated risk
04

Market, price & negotiation

  • Market analysis: comparable cars active and sold, medians, days on market
  • Mileage-based valuation by regression, in this example around minus €2,720 per 10,000 km
  • Price range & negotiation: three scenarios, an opening offer and a target range
  • Inspection list for the viewing and a final recommendation
The outcome in this example: The asking price was around 10 per cent below the mileage-adjusted market value. The audit showed, however, that this gap largely reflected concrete obstacles to resale: a fair entry point as a car to drive, not as an investment. That distinction, instead of a blanket statement, is the heart of the market check.
The second option

Two advertisements side by side

Torn between two candidates? The comparison dossier brings two individual audits together and sets the cars against each other feature by feature. In the real example: a 997.2 Targa 4 against a 997.2 Carrera S, two very different characters. The aim is a clear buying recommendation, weighted the way you weight things.

How the dossier compares them

  • A direct comparison feature by feature, with the advantages clearly marked
  • The market position and value picture of both cars, from the market data
  • Three buyer perspectives: driving, value for money, long-term ownership
  • A weighting table: what matters more to you decides the recommendation

How concrete it gets

  • A clear recommendation for each buyer profile, rather than a draw
  • Three decision paths for how to proceed in practice
  • Negotiating ranges for both cars
  • Concrete next steps, through to an independent assessment on site

Frequently asked questions

FAQ on the Digital Audit

What paperwork do you need for the Digital Audit? +

The link to the advertisement, plus whatever paperwork is available at that point, for example the service book, workshop invoices, inspection reports and the seller's statements. You receive a prioritised list of questions you can use to request the missing information from the seller.

What happens if paperwork is missing or arrives later? +

The audit then states openly which details are evidenced and which rest on the seller's word alone. One bundled submission of further documents within seven calendar days is taken into account. Further rounds of assessment and correspondence are part of the Porsche 911 Purchase Advisory.

Does the Digital Audit replace a viewing or an on-site assessment? +

No. The Digital Audit is a data-led first judgement made before the viewing. It contains an inspection list for the appointment, ordered by priority. The in-depth physical assessment where the car is belongs to Technical Due Diligence.

Where does the market data for the market check come from? +

From 911FINDER Market Monitoring & Analytics (MarqueScope): comparable cars, both active and sold, with price, mileage, specification and days on market. In the example audit, 87 sold 997.2 Carrera S went into the valuation.

Can I have two advertisements compared directly? +

Yes. The comparison dossier brings two individual audits together and gives you a clear buying recommendation, weighted the way you weight things, including negotiating ranges for both cars.

Is communication with the seller included? +

No. The Digital Audit covers the PDF dossier, the prioritised list of questions and one bundled submission of further documents within seven calendar days. Ongoing correspondence with the dealer or seller, further rounds of analysis and support through to the buying decision are part of the Porsche 911 Purchase Advisory.
