Question 1

How does a LotLitmus review work?

Accepted Answer

Pay $19 once, then upload one PDF worksheet of up to 10 pages or one or two clear photos of a U.S. dealer worksheet or buyer’s order after checkout is confirmed. LotLitmus reads the listed terms and line items. You can correct extracted labels and amounts or mark a value unreadable before generating the report, which includes contextual flags, practical questions, and a negotiation script.

Question 2

What happens to my document and completed report?

Accepted Answer

Photos are analyzed but not saved. A PDF is temporarily stored for reading and deleted after extraction; if reading is interrupted, it stays available for retry and scheduled cleanup. Extracted PDF terms are saved as an unconfirmed draft with your purchase, while your corrections stay in the form until the report is generated. The completed report is saved so you can reopen it from your checkout link until you delete it. Before uploading, redact names, addresses, phone numbers, VINs, account numbers, and signatures.

Question 3

Are fees the same across states, dealers, and deals?

Accepted Answer

No. Documentation and other dealer fees can vary by state, dealer, and deal. LotLitmus considers a listed charge in context and suggests questions about what it covers; an amount by itself does not establish that a fee is improper or unlawful.

Question 4

What can the analysis tell me, and what can’t it?

Accepted Answer

The review organizes visible line items and flags terms that may be worth clarifying, with questions and a script to help you prepare for your own dealer conversation. It does not negotiate for you, decide whether you should sign, or provide legal or financial advice. Readability and the information in the document limit what can be reviewed, so check the report against your paperwork and ask the dealer about anything unclear.

Question 5

How much does a review cost, and what can I upload?

Accepted Answer

One review costs $19 one time. After checkout, upload one unprotected PDF worksheet of 10 pages or fewer and up to 20 MiB, or one or two clear photos of a U.S. dealer worksheet or buyer’s order in JPG, PNG, or WebP format, up to 8 MiB each. HEIC is not supported.
