clean_vehicle_manual_check

Clean baseline case using verified vehicle data and manual no-damage fallback.

• Vision mode: OpenAI Vision
• Damage model: manual_damage_input
• Damage score: 0.000
• Base price: CHF 25'413
• Damage discount: CHF 0
• Recommended price: CHF 25'413
• Visual evidence: Manual fallback labels were used; no image evidence was analyzed.

Listing output:

For sale: 2019 BMW 3 Series with 64,000 km. This gasoline vehicle with automatic transmission offers 184 hp and a practical sedan body style. The recommended asking price is CHF 25'413, based on a market estimate of CHF 25'413 and an estimated visible-condition adjustment of CHF 0. Transparent condition note: no visible damage was detected from the provided image. Image evidence: Manual fallback labels were used; no image evidence was analyzed. Seller notes: Fresh service, non-smoking vehicle, winter tires included.

Explanation output:

The base market price is CHF 25'413. The damage score is 0.000, which leads to an estimated adjustment of CHF 0. The final recommended listing price is CHF 25'413. Visual evidence: Manual fallback labels were used; no image evidence was analyzed. CHF values include a transparent Swiss-market calibration. The damage adjustment is a transparent heuristic, not a certified repair-cost estimate.

**Recognized risks**
- No visible damage was included in the price adjustment.

**Limitation**
The damage score is a transparent heuristic based on visible condition evidence. It is not a certified repair-cost estimate and does not replace a professional vehicle inspection.

• Vision mode: OpenAI Vision
• Damage model: manual_damage_input
• Damage score: 0.150
• Base price: CHF 16'195
• Damage discount: CHF 2'429
• Recommended price: CHF 13'766
• Visual evidence: Manual fallback labels were used; no image evidence was analyzed.
