More questions
How current is the data?
It is monthly, and each month lands one to two months after it ends, so use it to set stocking and pricing direction for the month ahead. The examples on this page are from Aug 2026. It covers US dealers only, back to January 2021, at most 12 months per call.
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. Cars that left the market at their last asking price are the closest observable proxy for what the market will bear.
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 the window, the area or the trim until the row clears 30.
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. For the individual cars behind a number, use the recently sold search.
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 city seller ranking is 5 units ($15.00) and the named-seller drill is 2 units ($6.00); every other prompt is 1 unit ($3.00), so all 11 prompts come to 16 units ($48.00).
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.
