Used Car Values
Cars.com integrates AccuTrade for scalable appraisals, analyzing real-time data from millions of listings to generate instant market values, helping buyers spot “Great Deal” or “Good Deal” ratings on specific vehicles. For example, a 2026 Civic might show a fair range of $22k-$25k based on comps, condition, and location—factors like mileage, history, and features influence the proprietary algorithm. The platform’s AI assistant Carson™ provides personalized valuations amid 2026 trends like late-model scarcity (1-5 year olds).
