Vehicle Pricing Intelligence

Use retail and wholesale market values to support vehicle valuations, refine strategy, and protect margins across inventory.

The Challenge

Vehicle pricing has become increasingly volatile. Inventory levels shift by region, competitors adjust prices in near real time, and seasonal demand complicates every decision. Teams relying on delayed or static benchmarks risk mispricing inventory — holding vehicles too long or leaving margin on the table.

How It Works

Three steps from market values to pricing decisions

  • Pull live comparables

    Query Market Listings API and Market Values API by vehicle, trim, mileage, and location to compare retail and wholesale market values.

  • Get an adjusted valuation

    Use mileage, condition, and postal code to receive market-aligned values anchored to the specific vehicle and location.

  • Price with confidence

    Apply valuations to listings, appraisals, and acquisition bids backed by current market behavior.
