Tools

• check_fair_price

  Check whether a car's asking price is fair for the Portuguese market — the TransparentCars transparency check. Given make, model, year and mileage, it returns the range comparable cars actually sell for (low / typical / high), built from real listings. If you pass asking_price, it also gives a plain verdict: fair, above market, or below market — so a buyer knows before they walk in. Works for ANY car (a listing you found elsewhere, or one of ours). IMPORTANT — pass make/model canonically in Latin: make = full brand name ('Renault', 'Volkswagen' not 'VW'); model = short name WITHOUT engine/trim ('Clio' not 'Clio dCi', 'Golf' not 'Golf 1.5 TSI'). If unsure of spelling, call list_makes_models first.

• contact_me

  Send a contact request to TransparentCars so a human gets in touch. Only call this when the user explicitly asks to be contacted, provides their own name and a phone or email, AND agrees to share those details — pass consent=true only then. Submitting shares the provided contact details per the TransparentCars privacy policy.

  shallow
• cost_to_own

  Estimate a car's yearly running-cost floor in Portugal — the annual IUC road tax (Imposto Único de Circulação) every owner pays, plus a plain running-cost framing. Needs engine displacement (cc), CO₂ (g/km), fuel and first-registration year. Use this to help a buyer budget the true cost of keeping a car, beyond the sticker price.

  shallow
• get_car

  Get full details for one car in TransparentCars stock by its slug (from a search_inventory link, e.g. 'renault-clio-2016').

  shallow
• list_makes_models

  List the exact canonical car makes (brands) TransparentCars can search and price — or, given a make, that brand's models — using the exact strings the other tools expect. Call this FIRST (or whenever unsure of spelling) and pass the returned values verbatim into search_inventory / check_fair_price. No make = the list of brands; with a make = that brand's models.

  shallow
• search_inventory

  Search TransparentCars' current stock of budget used cars in Portugal — honestly listed, everyday cars for the local market. Filter by make, model, fuel, gearbox and max price. Returns matching cars with price, year, mileage and a link. IMPORTANT — pass make/model canonically in Latin, as the Portuguese market lists them: make = full brand name ('BMW', 'Mercedes-Benz' not 'Mercedes', 'Volkswagen' not 'VW'); model = the short series/model WITHOUT the engine or trim suffix ('Golf' not 'Golf 1.5 TSI', 'Clio' not 'Clio dCi'). Put the fuel in the fuel field, not the model. If unsure of the spelling, call list_makes_models first.
