Comp rows render live at the address. A band without a comp set behind it says so: “Reported, not yet verified.” Figures render live at the address. This page states structure, not prices.

One spread, both sides of the desk.

The value a consumer reads is the value a dealer prices from.

Same numbers, both registers.

Selling or trading it

You read from the wholesale end

Private party is what you can ask; wholesale is what the trade pays. The cash offer at offers.vin is written against the wholesale band on this page: the number and the offer sit on the same spread.

At the desk

You pencil from the auction end

Appraise at values.vin/{VIN} at desk speed. Opening ACV: the pencil is wholesale, less recon, less pack. The auction and wholesale bands that anchor it are posted here with their comps, the same page the customer is reading.

    Five bands, low to high

    Five bands, low to high, each posted with source and timestamp, comps attached. Where you read from depends on the side: selling starts at wholesale, buying starts at retail.

    Wholesale, retail, or the record

    Wholesale to offers.vin for a cash offer. Retail to listings.vin to check an asking price. The record behind the value at vhr.vin.

Questions with posted answers.

Why five numbers instead of one?

The same car trades at different numbers at auction, wholesale, trade, private party, and retail. One number hides the spread; five state it. Which one applies depends on which side of the desk you sit on, so all five are posted.

Where do the numbers come from?

Live market data and current listings, posted with source and timestamp on each band. A band without a comp set behind it says so: “Reported, not yet verified.”

What does it cost?

$0, posted above like every other number. Signing in is free too; what it unlocks is posted on the comp table’s last row.

The spread is one face of the record.

The other addresses read the same seventeen characters.

For the agent you send.

The agent reads the same record you do.

Same two routes, three representations: the numbers never differ between them.
