Deal grades

Facebook Marketplace listings only, because those are the grades computed against Manheim MMR wholesale for the same year, trim and mileage: a steal is priced well under wholesale, a pass is priced above it.

Method and caveats

  • These are asking prices, not sold prices.
  • Dealer-classified and duplicate cross-posted listings were removed before counting.
  • Wholesale means Manheim MMR for the listing's year, trim and mileage.
  • A make can show a high under-wholesale share where MMR runs rich on high-mileage cars; read the makes table against the metro average.
  • Radius is 50 miles from the city center; window is Aug 29, 2026 – Sept 27, 2026 (30 days).
  • Facebook Marketplace mileage is typed by the seller and is not verified.
