A clearer view of vehicle value

Vehicle value is not one universal number. Private-party value, dealer trade-in value, retail asking price, mileage, condition, and local demand can all affect the outcome. Our reports separate these concepts so the result is easier to understand.

What your report includes

  • Current Market Average
  • Lower and upper market benchmarks
  • Comparable vehicle count and price distribution
  • Mileage adjustment and average comparable mileage
  • Market Confidence
  • Purpose-built buyer, seller, or research strategy

Search by VIN or license plate

A VIN provides the most direct vehicle identification. A license plate can also be used when the supported vehicle lookup data is available.

Frequently asked questions

Vehicle value questions, answered

How accurate is an online vehicle value estimate?

Accuracy depends on the quality and relevance of available comparable data and the completeness of vehicle details. A physical inspection and local market conditions can still change the real transaction price.

Does mileage affect vehicle value?

Yes. Mileage is compared with the average mileage of comparable vehicles, and the report shows the resulting adjustment.

Is trade-in value the same as private-party value?

Usually not. A dealer offer is often lower because the dealer must account for inspection, reconditioning, inventory costs, risk, and resale margin.
