About our data & methodology

Our carnival market reports draw on a licensed dealer-listings sample of new vehicles. Listing figures refresh daily; sold-price and sales-volume figures cover the prior completed calendar month. The sample may not represent every vehicle for sale in a state. Every value is labeled Observed or Estimated, and any number below our sample threshold is withheld rather than guessed.
