How we compare

Median asking price of the same make, model and year, at least 6 listings per market, USD-normalized at the fixed pegs. Trims are mixed within a model-year, so very wide gaps can reflect trim mix, not market. A market is only called cheapest when it leads by more than 3%. As of 2026-07-10.
