Choosing a car takes weeks.
The decision takes minutes.

Nikolaos Korakianitis

Builds the research engine — the brief, the checks and the reasoning that comes back with every pick.

I’m 17, I’m not behind the wheel yet, and that’s exactly why I built KAR. Everyone I knew asking “which car should I buy?” was getting answers shaped by whoever wanted to sell them something. So I built the research tool I wished existed — one that reads the specs, the running costs and the real listings, then explains its reasoning in plain language.
