HOW IT WORKS
OBSERVE FIRST.
INTERPRET SECOND.
1. FIND THE INVENTORY.
Loophole asks an authorized inventory provider for vehicles matching your make, model, ZIP and radius. When no live provider is configured, the site uses clearly labeled fictional demo inventory.
2. KEEP THE HISTORY.
Each refresh records the asking price and observation time. A new price creates a new observation. Earlier observations remain intact.
3. BUILD COMPARABLES.
The first version uses a transparent rule: same make and model, an adjacent model year, and a similar mileage band within the returned inventory.
4. SCORE THE SIGNALS.
The experimental Loophole Score weighs price position, time observed, price cuts, local competition, and depreciation context. It measures observable conditions. It does not read a dealer’s mind.
5. REVIEW THE EVIDENCE.
Use the listing, comparable vehicles, and clearly labeled estimates to prepare your own questions for the dealer. Loophole never invents dealer cost, holdback, or a guaranteed acceptance price.
