Comparables
Use the Standalone Comparables Tool
The standalone Comparables tool lets you check what a vehicle is currently listed for without starting a full evaluation.
The standalone Comparables tool lets you look up comparable listings for a vehicle without building a full evaluation, which is useful for a quick check of what similar vehicles are asking before you commit to anything.
When to use the standalone tool
Use it for a quick check: a customer mentions a vehicle, a buyer asks about a unit, or you are assessing something before deciding to appraise it. When you are actively working a trade, the comparables appear directly on the evaluation, so you do not need the standalone tool for that. To price your entire lot against the market at once rather than one vehicle, use Inventory Pricing.
How it works
Open the Comparables tool. Enter the vehicle , and it pulls comparable live listings, the same trim-matched asking prices you would see on an evaluation, without the rest of the appraisal attached. The distance filter sets how far the search reaches, with presets from 25 km up to 2000 km or a custom radius from your dealership. The lookup is fast and creates no record.
The same caveats apply
These are asking prices on retail listings, a check rather than a buy number. The wholesale number still comes from the book value and the bids. The Comparables overview explains why comparables are context rather than a definitive figure, particularly in a volatile market.
FAQ
What’s the difference between this and comparables on an evaluation?
The standalone tool is a quick lookup with no evaluation attached. On an evaluation, the comparables appear automatically as part of the unit.
Do I need to build an evaluation to use it?
No. The tool is designed for a quick check before, or instead of, a full appraisal.
Are these asking or sold prices?
Asking prices on current listings. They are context rather than a record of sales.
Is the result my buy number?
No. It is retail context. Your buy number comes from the book value and the bids.
When should I just use the evaluation instead?
Whenever you are actively appraising the unit. The comparables are built into the evaluation in that case.
