How do I read a Marketplace listing without missing the gaps?

A useful reading of a Marketplace listing starts with the gaps, not the photos. Within the first minute, write down mileage, trim clues, title language, and anything the seller never mentions.

Treat every claim as a claim until you can check it. Photos can hide panel gaps, tire wear, and interior wear that matter later at the curb.

CaptainWorth is built for this exact moment: paste the listing and get a Captain's Report that separates evidence from inference before you spend an afternoon on the wrong vehicle.

Finish by deciding whether the listing has enough information to justify a trip. If key facts are missing, ask for them in writing first.
