How we prepare and check our content
Who publishes these guides, how we distinguish evidence from assumptions, and how to report a correction.
Publisher and authorship
VehicleValue AI publishes and maintains this website. The guides were prepared with AI assistance. This edition has not been reviewed by a named automotive expert, and we do not claim professional appraisal credentials. The publisher name identifies responsibility for the site; it is not an individual expert byline.
Different kinds of evidence
A photograph, an owner statement, a vehicle record, an asking price, and an actual sale establish different things. We identify the kind of evidence used instead of treating them as interchangeable. A listing is evidence of what a seller asks on the date checked, not proof of what a buyer paid.
Guides link to primary sources for external factual guidance. Our comparison worksheets are an educational way to organize research, not a licensed pricing model. Where an example uses invented numbers, that label stays next to the example.
How real case studies will be reviewed
We have not yet published a real-world test series or a measured accuracy rate. Before a real case is published, its photo rights and publication permission must be confirmed and a person must review the evidence and final page.
- Record the exact photo submitted, test date, and tool response, including incorrect identifications. Keep repeat attempts identified rather than selecting only a favorable result.
- Label vehicle facts by their source: owner-reported, document-checked, or independently inspected. Leave missing facts unknown.
- Date and link market comparisons, separate asking prices from offers and sales, and explain both included and excluded comparisons.
- Explain errors and limitations alongside useful findings. A small collection of cases cannot establish accuracy for all vehicles or markets.
Updates and corrections
Each article shows its original publication date and latest substantive update. A date change does not imply that all quoted market information was refreshed. Case studies retain the original test and comparison dates.
To request a correction, email vehiclevalueai@gmail.com with the page URL, the statement in question, and supporting information. Please omit personal documents and identifying vehicle details. Material corrections should explain what changed and whether the conclusion changed.
Advertising and independence
Advertising does not determine our vehicle estimates or conclusions. We do not accept a listing price as reliable simply because a seller advertises. Optional advertising and analytics can be declined in privacy choices without losing access to the tool or guides.
