## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability autopulse-pre-purchase-inspection-checklist-bdce52d7
```

Example prompt: I'm about to go look at a used 2019 Toyota 4Runner — can you pull up the pre-purchase inspection checklist for it so I know exactly what known issues and problem areas to check before I make an offer?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user is actively considering purchasing a specific used vehicle and needs a model-specific checklist of known issues and inspection points. Prefer this over a general reliability report when the user needs actionable, in-person inspection guidance rather than aggregate reliability scores.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported vehicle make/model/year returns an empty or generic checklist
- Missing required parameters (make, model, year) results in a 400 error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout or server error returns a 500 status

## How this service works

Automotive intelligence API — 11 endpoints powered by NHTSA, EPA, and live market data. Safety recalls, reliability analysis, DIY repair guides, vehicle comparison, market value, EV break-even, dealer negotiation, pre-purchase inspection, parts pricing, total cost of ownership, and car-financing/APR intelligence. Global recall data (NHTSA, DVSA UK, Transport Canada, ACCC AU, RAPEX EU) and global financing coverage (US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, India). All endpoints require x402 payment (USDC on Base mainnet) via the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.

## Output

A model-specific pre-purchase inspection checklist detailing the known issues, common failure points, and specific items to examine before purchasing the specified used vehicle.
