Research pilot — not a live stock feed. Examples below reflect dealer website information observed on 25 October 2026. Prices and availability may change. Dealer inclusion does not imply a partnership or endorsement. LAI has not inspected these vehicles.
Start with your life, then consider the car.
02 / Examine the evidence
Separate what the seller advertises from what documents establish. Check the exact variant, service record, condition, warranty and viewing location.
03 / Decide what to do next
Build a shortlist with reasons, trade-offs and unanswered questions. Confirm availability and arrange a suitable inspection before committing.
Advertised vehicles. Better questions.
These three examples demonstrate LAI’s approach across modern performance cars and modern classics. They are research starting points, not personalised recommendations or a complete comparison of the market.

Questions worth answering before you travel.
Will it fit my requirements?
How many usable seats do I need? Will my luggage fit? Does the exact vehicle fit my garage, including door access and manoeuvring space?
Evidence: Correct variant specifications, your measurements and a practical viewing.
What will ownership involve?
What are the quoted insurance, servicing and storage costs? Which items fall outside any warranty? What maintenance is due?
Evidence: Personal quotes, service schedules and written vehicle-specific terms. Missing costs remain unknown.
What supports the vehicle’s history?
Are service records complete? What inspections exist? Has it been modified or restored? Can reported mileage and provenance be documented?
Evidence: Vehicle records, appropriate history checks and a specialist inspection.
Can I view and buy this example?
Is it still available? Where is the vehicle physically located? What is included in the price? Can I inspect it and arrange a test drive?
Evidence: Current written confirmation from the selling branch.
Explore the original dealer sources.

| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Dealer reported | A claim published by the seller. Attribution is not independent verification. |
| Independently checked | A specific fact checked against a named appropriate source, with a date. No vehicle on this pilot page has received a full independent check. |
| LAI interpretation | An explanation of possible fit or trade-offs, conditional on stated buyer requirements and available evidence. |
| Not established | The information is missing, stale or requires confirmation. It is not treated as a negative vehicle finding. |
Our prompt register helps identify relevant questions; it does not prove buyer demand or answer them automatically. Questions are selected for the vehicle and intended use. Unknowns stay visible.
