Who runs the Vehicle Valuation Report

• 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.

Before you run it

What is the MarketCheck Price on this report?

It is MarketCheck's machine-learned prediction of the off-market exit price: what comparable vehicles were last listed at right before they left the market, for this car's market, mileage, sales channel (franchise or independent) and certified status. It is still a listing price, not a prediction of what it will sell for. Fair market value, anchored on recently off-market listings, sits below the predicted ask, and the gap is the expected negotiation room.

How accurate is a valuation by VIN?

Each value comes with its evidence: how many comparables there were, how tightly they cluster and how close they are in configuration and mileage, summed up as a confidence grade. High confidence on a thin market still means thin.

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, the odometer reading and the ZIP code of the market. Condition, purpose (trade-in, retail, insurance, wholesale), CPO status and an asking price to check are optional.

Why does it need the mileage and ZIP?

Without them the value is estimated from the model year and a default location, which is wrong for high- or low-mileage cars and for most regions.

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.
