What GougeProof is

GougeProof is a set of free calculators and reference data about buying a vehicle. It is education, not advice: it shows numbers and trade-offs, and it does not tell you which car or loan to choose. It is not a lender or a broker, and nothing on it is an offer of credit.

Estimates, provided as is

Every total, payment and tax figure is an estimate. Real figures depend on your dealer’s paperwork, your lender’s terms, the day you sign, and rules that change. We work from published sources, show where each default came from and the day we checked it, and correct what we find wrong. We still make no promise that any figure is complete, current or right for your deal.

GougeProof is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. Nothing here is tax, legal or financial advice. Use your signed documents, and a professional if you need one, for the final answer.

Using the site

• You may use the calculators for free and without an account.
• The downloadable rules data has its own licence, in plain words on the data page.
• Do not use the site in a way that overloads it, tries to break into it, or presents its estimates as a dealer’s or lender’s quote.

Limits on our responsibility

To the fullest extent the law allows, GougeProof and Mr. Voltage Studios are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for a loss that comes from relying on an estimate in place of your signed documents. Nothing in these terms limits a right that the law does not let a site limit.

Other websites

GougeProof links to government and other sources. We do not run them and are not responsible for what they say.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. If we change them, the new terms apply from the date shown at the top of this page. Questions: contact. How we handle your information is on the privacy page.
