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 Sept 1, 2026 – Sept 30, 2026 (30 days).
- Facebook Marketplace mileage is typed by the seller and is not verified.
