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. Treat the band as the market's asking range; what you negotiate can land below it.
Does it show individual cars or VINs?
No. It returns statistics (units, median and mean asking price, odometer, days on market) grouped by model, year, trim, seller or group, never a VIN. To check one specific car before you buy, run a Used Car Health Check on its VIN.
Does it cover my area?
It covers US franchise and independent dealer websites in every state, down to the city the dealer is in. It does not cover private sales or cars outside the US.
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. Every prompt on this page is 1 unit ($3.00), so all 7 prompts come to 7 units ($21.00).
How current is the data?
It is monthly, and each month lands one to two months after it ends, so use it to judge a price, then check the live listing. 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 do I get started?
