Used car value by VIN, with the comparables to prove it

• MarketCheck Price headline + price-band concentration chart
• Optional asking-price verdict (vs MarketCheck Price and the market)
• Franchise vs Independent pricing and CPO premium
• Active and recently-sold comparable listings
• 90-day market trend and multi-year listing history

• Dealers checking a trade or an auction unit before they commit to a number.
• Appraisers who need a market value with the listing evidence attached.
• Attorneys and adjusters who want a value that can be read line by line, not a single figure.

What is the MarketCheck Price on this report?

It is a predicted off-market exit price: what comparable vehicles were last listed at right before they left the market, conditioned on the sales channel (franchise or independent) and certified status. It is the cleanest sold proxy we publish, and it is still a listing price, not a negotiated transaction price.

Is this the price the car will sell for?

Every figure is a listed price. Active comparables are current asking prices and recently off-market comparables are shown at their last list price, the closest observable proxy to a transaction. Negotiated sale prices are private and not in the data.

What do I need to run it?

A 17-character VIN. Add the odometer reading and the ZIP code of the market, or the value will be estimated from model year and a default location and will be wrong for high or low mileage vehicles. Condition, purpose (trade-in, retail, insurance, wholesale), CPO status and an asking price to check are optional.

Can I use it for several vehicles at once?

This report values one vehicle in depth. For a stack of trades or an auction run list, Batch Vehicle Valuation values up to 500 VINs in one run at $0.49 each, and Acquisition Fit Report ranks a list by how well each unit fits your lot.

How do I run it and what does it cost?

$1.99 per report. Connect the MarketCheck AI Desk to Claude or ChatGPT once and ask in plain English, or run it from this website. You pay per report from a credit balance, with no subscription. You can also buy a single report as a guest without an account.
