Why VMR?
There's an old
saying: "There's a sucker in every deal, and if you don't
know who it is, it's probably you." In the used car
business, those are words to live by.
VMR publishes
used vehicle market data to help consumers buy used cars at a price
that reflects their interests, not the dealers. We are unbiased
and objective. Our data consists of a wholesale value
(the basis point of any negotiation and the most important number for
you) and a retail value (the absolute most you should pay at a
dealership). Pricing data is compiled from many market sources,
including thousands of actual transactions every month.
You may find
that our prices are lower than other guides such as N.A.D.A.
(Which stands, by the way, for National Automobile Dealers Association
--hardly an unbiased source and sort of like letting the fox guard the
hen house!) Kelley Blue Book (Whom generally publish the
highest retail values of any guide -- which is why you see it just
about anywhere someone is selling a car. Dealers love to use it.), and
Edmunds.
Today, you have
many choices when it comes to using a data source for used car
pricing. We suggest that you use one that works for you. |
