More questions
What is Sold Market Data?
Monthly statistics on cars that left tens of thousands of US franchise and independent dealer websites since January 2021: units sold, the priced sample, the median and mean asking price, the odometer and days on market, grouped by model, trim, year, seller or group. Every price is the advertised asking price when the car left the website. New cars are covered too, with the gap between the asking price and the MarketCheck MSRP.
What is the MarketCheck MSRP?
MarketCheck's own sticker price for each car, matched from its build and listing data. Here it shows how far asking prices sat below or above sticker: a negative gap means dealers listed the car under sticker. The negotiated price is not in the data.
How current is the data?
It is monthly, and each month lands one to two months after it ends, so use it to aim the search, then confirm on live listings. The examples on this page are from Aug 2026. It covers US dealers only, back to January 2021, at most 12 months per call.
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. Widen to a region or drop the trim until the row clears 30.
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 seller ranking in the cheapest state is 5 units ($15.00); every other prompt is 1 unit ($3.00), so all 8 prompts come to 12 units ($36.00).
How do I get started?
Add the MarketCheck AI Desk connector to Claude or ChatGPT; it is free to add, and ChatGPT works on Free accounts too. Then paste a prompt from this page or ask in your own words, and each call is charged to your prepaid balance only when it succeeds.
