One Journey. Three Waypoints.

Yes. The quiz, your top 3 matches, the Decision Guide, and local inventory search are free to use — no credit card required. You only pay if you want the Negotiation Package ($49), Scout ($99), Trail Boss ($199), or full-service Wrangler ($499).

Most car shopping platforms are funded by dealers who pay to appear in your results. That means what you see first isn’t the best deal — it’s the highest bidder. When you pay for a FRNTIR report or Scout, your fee funds your recommendations. No dealer subsidizes your results, sponsors your rankings, or influences what we suggest you buy.

Some buyer-side services charge monthly subscriptions, that you may forget to cancel, and show third-party advertising alongside results. FRNTIR is simpler: $49 for your Negotiation Package, $99 for Scout, $199 for Hire a Trail Boss, or $499 for full-service Wrangler. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, and zero dealer influence on what we recommend. You pay once for the car you’re buying now.

Indiana, Cornell, and Leuphana University research found that buyers lose an average of $1,117 just by not knowing the market before negotiation begins — and that’s the rigorously measured floor. Practical overpayment on a typical used-car deal runs higher: NADA reports $2,337 average gross profit per used unit, and typical asking prices run another several hundred to a few thousand dollars above fair market. That puts $3,000+ at stake for unprepared buyers on most deals. Our Negotiation Package at $49 hands you the exact Buyer Fair Price, a step-by-step playbook, your opening offer, and your walk-away number. We don’t promise a dollar amount of savings, but you walk in with as much intel as possible.

It hands you the Buyer Fair Price for that specific VIN — the buyer-side number free tools don’t generate. You also get a VIN price history, your opening offer and walk-away number, buyer leverage points the dealer hopes you don’t know about, red flags to watch for, a step-by-step negotiation playbook, and a Purchase Planner with loan, tax, and monthly ownership estimates. You walk in knowing more about that car’s value than the salesperson across the table.

Scout ($99) is fully automated — AI ranks your search results, surfaces the 3 best deals, and you pick the winner. Instant delivery. Hire a Trail Boss ($199) adds a real expert who reviews your top 3, surfaces deeper red flags, verifies your trade-in value, and answers your specific questions — you still negotiate yourself, but with expert advice. 24-hour response. Hire a Wrangler ($499) is full-service — a real person searches dealers and private sellers, negotiates directly on your behalf, handles trade-in strategy, and provides support until you drive off. 3–5 business days. Wrangler is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.

Your quiz answers and search data are used only to generate your recommendations. We never share your information with dealers without your permission. Your email is used solely to deliver your results and any upgrades you purchase.

Our recommendations are built without dealer input, paid placements, or sponsored picks — so what you see reflects fit, not influence. They’re a strong starting point. They’re not a substitute for sitting in the driver’s seat — always test drive before you buy.

Skip the quiz entirely. Use Car Search to jump straight to local inventory search — it’s free. When you find a listing you like, get your Negotiation Package for the pricing and negotiation intel you need to buy it right.
