Value For Money
How do you know if the price of a car is reasonable?
Finding the right car within your budget is hard enough. But judging the price of the car is even harder. From our previous user tests, we learned that there is a need for help in valuing the price. But before we know how to help, we wanted to learn what mental model customers use judging the price by default and how much help they need.

The Design process
Observe
From our previous user tests, we learned that there is a need for help in valuing car data.
Reflect
Before we know how to help, we wanted to learn how people value car prices at the moment and on what point in their journey, there is a need for help.
Create
We came up with a strategy where we would show car offers and test different levels of help in judging the price.
Test
We tested the solutions during interviews with six customers who were looking for a car.
