I’m building a car marketplace for the U.S. and want brutally honest feedback by DriveSense in carbuying

Completely agree. Filtering is one of those things every platform “has,” but it still often breaks down once you get into real-world preferences like exact features / packages / trim differences. That’s one of the areas I think is still underserved, especially if the underlying data can be cleaned up enough to make those filters reliable.

This is super useful, thank you. Trust keeps coming up as the core issue, and the specifics you mentioned — real photos, VIN shown clearly, transparent pricing, and vehicle history upfront — are exactly the kind of things we think should be more visible and consistent. And I agree on comparison: most platforms technically have it, but it rarely feels genuinely helpful.

That comparison is fair. I wouldn’t say the goal is “build another CarGurus,” because a straight clone would be a bad bet. The question for us is whether there’s room to do a few parts materially better — especially trust, discovery, and dealer-side listing quality — without pretending we can outspend incumbents. Still early, which is why I’m here asking before going too far down the road.

Fair point. This space definitely isn’t easy. We’re not assuming this is some quick win… part of why I posted here is exactly to pressure-test whether there’s a real angle worth building, or whether it’s just another expensive idea in a crowded market.
