Answers
Frequently asked questions
How the numbers are built and how to put them to work.
Where do these prices come from?
Every range is built from observed marketplace listings for used OEM parts. We aggregate asking prices by part, vehicle, condition grade, and year, then publish the low, median, and high so you can see the whole market, not one seller's number.
What do condition grades A, B, C, and X mean?
Grade A parts are lightly used with minimal wear, grade B shows average wear for the mileage, and grade C has cosmetic damage or high mileage. X means the seller didn't state a grade. Graded medians appear on every part card and guide page.
Do prices include shipping or installation?
No. All figures are part-only asking prices and exclude shipping, core charges, and installation labor. Factor those in when comparing against a local quote.
Why is the price range so wide for some parts?
Mileage, condition grade, fitment variants, and regional supply all move the price. That's why we anchor every guide on the median and show the spread. A wide spread tag means you should compare listings carefully before paying top of range.
How often is the data updated?
Listings are re-collected on a rolling basis, and each vehicle guide shows the date its data was last refreshed. Fast-moving categories like engines and transmissions are prioritized.
Can I use these numbers to negotiate?
That's the point. Open the guide for your exact model and year, note the median and the grade-level medians, and you have a defensible number to quote a buyer, a seller, or an insurance adjuster.
