Auto Prices

Whether you are looking to buy a new auto, buy a used auto, or considering whether you should sell your auto or trade-in your auto; you need to understand and collect as much information as your can on current auto prices.  Based on your specific need, we have consolidated some of the best auto pricing information and auto tools here on AutoBuying101.com to help you understand auto prices:

New Auto Prices

  • New Auto Market Pricing: one of the best ways to understand how much you can expect to pay for a new auto, is by understanding the MSRP, Invoice and Market Value based on what other auto buyers have paid recently.  In our Research Autos section, you can find all of these New Auto Prices.
  • Available Auto Dealer Prices: in addition to the information you find online, you can also get a good feel for where local auto market prices are based on getting free quotes from auto dealers.  You can get multiple, free, price quotes from auto dealers using our auto price quote tool >>

 

Used Auto Prices

  • Used Auto Values: there are a few established companies in the industry (such as Kelley Blue Book, NADAGuides, and Edmunds) that specialize in developing values on used autos for different types of transactions (i.e. used auto dealer sale, used auto private party sale, and/or used auto trade in).  It's important to understand the pros and cons of these used auto price guides and how they apply to your specific transaction.  You can find more information and links to these auto value guidebooks in our used auto pricing article >>
  • Used Auto Inventory: reviewing currently available autos for sale is another great way to understand the current value of a auto.  Keep in mind that most autos sell below their advertised price, but finding autos similar to the one you want to buy, or sell, can help your research.
  • Auto Trade In Values: in addition to the auto value guides, and reviewing active autos for sale, you can also get free trade-in offers on your auto directly from local auto dealers.  Simply reach out to some of the local auto dealers in your area and ask them how much they would buy your auto for, and compare that with the other sources outlined above.  Some dealers, such as CarMax, will even buy your auto even if you do not buy your next vehicle from them.
