Show HN: Carculator – Find the Most Profitable Turo Cars on Carvana/Vroom/Carmax (opens in new tab)

When you consider what is going on in the used car markets, I think that this makes sense. The premise of this calculation is around profit, and unfortunately the low end cars have increased in price greater than what they can command while renting on Turo.

The rental premiums were key in designing this.

Hey! Thanks for your kind words :)

I’m new here and it’s nice to see the HN crowd embrace this!

I used a service called Drivly:

They call themselves a “Plaid for Automotive” but I consider them more akin to an AWS because they’re building out this fundamental level infrastructure and data integrations that unlock the whole automotive world for entrepreneurship. Without a service like this, I don’t think that I could’ve built Carculator.

Cars are the second most expensive asset but unlike homes which are number one, are even harder to do anything with programmatically or entrepreneurially.
