Distribution graph providing a visual grouping of the days on lot figure to enhance your insight.

Average retail selling price for the vehicle based on the average mileage in the market.

Average mileage for these vehicles in the marketplace. Indicates whether your vehicle is above or below average.

Real Vehicle Comps & Transactions

Real Retail data gives the dealer a target price to aim for so they know what price and profit to expect for each of their transactions. Dealers use this to accurately predict true margin at acquisition to prevent getting caught out by inflated retail asking prices and suffering poor margins as a result. It's also critical when discounting as vehicles age and during the sales process to ensure they are maximizing their profit without losing sales.

This table features individual vehicle comps and shows sale price, profit or loss, days on lot, mileage and sale date.

Dealers use this to see the variation between comps to provide more color on the marketplace.

Comps with the most similar mileage are in dark green, turning into a light green as the mileage difference extends, letting dealers see how the progression of miles impacts sale price.

Carbly is the best yet

Keeps us profitable in a competitive market

"We are a large vehicle wholesaler with a sizable inventory. Margins are slim so we have to closely monitor the market for changes. Carbly's data-rich platform and Appraisal Assistant keep us profitable in an extremely competitive and fluid market."

More information for less money

"Great value. Tons of information. I have used Autoniq, Laser Appraiser. Vin Viper. Carbly gives me more information for less money and MUCH better customer service."

Lance VanDyke By The Book Auto Brokers, Inc

Can read text as well as barcodes

"I left Autoniq over a billing dispute which ended up being a blessing in disguise. The VIN scanner on Carbly is so much better; it can read text as well as barcodes. They also have NADA VIN Precision+ which has better trim and build data."
