More questions
Are these the prices buyers paid?
No. Every price is the advertised asking price when the car left the dealer website; the negotiated price is private and is not in the data. Retail asking prices are the ceiling a wholesale bid works back from, after reconditioning, transport and margin.
Does it include auction or wholesale sales?
No. It counts cars that left US dealer websites, the retail side of the market. Use it to read retail demand and price by state, model and seller, then set floors and lanes against it.
How many sales back each figure?
Every row states its units sold and its priced sample, the sales with an asking price behind every price figure. A row on fewer than 30 priced sales is marked as a thin sample: read it as a direction only. Pool states or months before you move cars on a thin spread.
What does a call cost?
$3.00 per call unit, paid from your prepaid balance and only after a successful call; a refused or failed call costs nothing. On this page the retail buyer ranking is 5 units ($15.00); every other prompt is 1 unit ($3.00), so all 9 prompts come to 13 units ($39.00).
How current is the data?
It is monthly, and each month lands one to two months after it ends, so use it to set lanes and timing for the coming months. The examples on this page are from Aug 2026. It covers US dealers only, back to January 2021, at most 12 months per call.
