Meet Ethel AI. Your deal-sheet analyst.

A dealer's first pencil has three parts: the car, optional products, and required tax and fees. Ethel AI reads each line — what it protects, when it pays off, and what a fair price looks like. Every product is optional.

Ethel AI's read

Extended service contract (VSC)

On the sheet: $3,995 · Typical SoCal range $1,800–$4,000

What it does
Pays for covered mechanical repairs after the factory warranty ends, minus your deductible.
When it's worth it
Turbocharged, European, or complex hybrid drivetrains, high-mileage used cars, and anyone who cannot absorb a surprise $3,000 repair.
What to check
Exclusionary coverage is better than a stated-component list. Confirm the administrator, the deductible, whether it is transferable and refundable, and that any licensed shop can perform the work.

Optional and negotiable. Not required to buy this vehicle or to qualify for financing.

Dealer trade-in

Convenience. The dealer budgets for prep, holding costs, resale risk and profit.

Private-party sale

$27,048 – $29,400

More stays with you. You handle buyers, payment, smog and DMV paperwork.

Dealer retail

The resale benchmark, not your proceeds. Covers overhead, reconditioning and margin.

California taxes the full price of your next car — a trade-in saves $0 in sales tax. Lock the next car’s out-the-door price first, then compare written trade offers.
