Used Car Buying Decision Toolkit, Compare, Score, Negotiate (Excel, Google Sheets)

STOP GUESSING. START COMPARING.

Buying a used car is one of the biggest purchases most people make — but

most buyers walk into it with a notepad, a gut feeling, and a checklist

that doesn't actually help them decide anything.

The Ultimate Used Car Buyer Decision Toolkit is different. It's a

complete system that takes you from "I found a listing" all the way to

"here's my final offer" — with every car you're considering scored,

ranked, and compared side by side, automatically.

COMPARE → INSPECT → CALCULATE → NEGOTIATE → DECIDE

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Most car-buying templates are just a checklist. This is a decision

engine:

✓ Compare up to 10 vehicles side by side, automatically scored and ranked

✓ True cost of ownership — not just the sticker price, but financing,

 insurance, fuel, maintenance, and depreciation over 3 years

✓ 59-point inspection scorecard covering exterior, interior, engine,

 brakes/suspension/steering, test drive, and documentation

✓ Red flag & repair cost tracker that feeds straight into your comparison

✓ Built-in negotiation calculator — walk in with a real opening offer and

 a walk-away number, not a guess

✓ Automatic BUY / NEGOTIATE / RESEARCH MORE / WALK AWAY recommendation

 for every vehicle, based on a transparent scoring formula (nothing

 is a black box — full documentation included)

✓ One-click currency switcher — USD, MYR, EUR, GBP, JPY, INR, CAD, AUD,

 SGD — set it once and every dollar figure in the workbook follows

✓ Clickable navigation bar on every tab — jump anywhere in one click

WHAT'S INCLUDED

- The full Excel workbook — 10 connected tabs, zero setup required

- A ready-to-use Google Sheets version (just click "Make a copy")

- A 20-page printable companion booklet — bring it to every viewing

 and inspection to fill out by hand

- A complete user guide walking through every tab and feature

- Bonus: full formula & scoring documentation, for anyone who wants

 to see exactly how the numbers work

Works in both Excel (2016+) and Google Sheets. No macros, no scripts,

no add-ons, no subscriptions — every calculation is a plain, inspectable

formula.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Add every vehicle you're considering (up to 10 at once)

2. Record its history — mileage, price, accidents, service records

3. Walk through the inspection scorecard during your viewing

4. Log any problems and their estimated repair cost

5. Calculate the real monthly, annual, and 3-year cost of ownership

6. Let the spreadsheet score, rank, and compare every vehicle for you

7. Plan your negotiation with a calculated opening offer

8. Make your final decision, with your reasoning recorded right there

WHO THIS IS FOR

First-time buyers · Families comparing multiple vehicles · Private-party

shoppers · Anyone cross-shopping dealer listings · Buyers who want a

second opinion that isn't just a gut feeling
