About Carby
Car buying in Canada is stressful. Prices are opaque, listings are inconsistent, and most buyers walk into a negotiation with almost no information. Dealers spend every day in this market. Buyers show up once every few years.
I've watched too many friends walk out of dealerships with cars that had no right to be sold at the prices they were sold for. Overcharged, underinformed, and too polite to push back. That imbalance bothered me enough to actually do something about it!
Carby is built to close that gap. Paste a listing — from AutoTrader, Kijiji, wherever — and get an instant read: is this a good deal or not, what's the car actually worth, what should you open negotiations at, and what would a seasoned buyer notice that you might miss. The kind of confidence a car-savvy friend would give you, in seconds.
I'm Baasim Mustafa, the solo founder. No VC, no team, no dealer relationships. Just one person who got tired of watching people overpay because they had no way to know any better — and decided to build the tool that fixes that!
Carby is still early. If something doesn't work right, or you have a suggestion, email me directly: baasimustafa@gmail.com.
