How Deal Check works

How does Deal Check decide if a price is good?

It compares the price with the car’s market value: what the same trim and model year goes for, adjusted to this car’s mileage and, where known, its accident history and state. Within 3% of that value is a fair price. More than 10% either way is well below or well above market.

Can I check a price a dealer quoted me?

Yes. Enter the car’s VIN and the price you were quoted. The check uses your price instead of the advertised one, so it works for a quote by phone, a car that isn’t advertised, or an offer from a private seller.

What does days on sale tell me?

A car that has been for sale for a long time, or whose price has already been cut, is one its seller wants gone. Deal Check shows how long this car has been listed, and how many of the same trim and year are for sale nationwide, so you know how much room you have to negotiate.

Is Deal Check a vehicle history report?

No. It reads the price. Accident, owner and title flags are shown when a listing reports them, but always confirm the car’s history and condition with the seller, and have it inspected before you buy.

OttoQuest is paid for by its members, not by dealers. No dealer pays to rank higher or to look like a better deal here, and we don’t sell your details as leads.
