Replying to: tidester (Sep 26, 2007 11:23 am) I figured that he was talking about the base TMV price... MSRPs almost never go up late in a model year. I assume that if, say, Sticker was $22,000 invoice was $19,500 and TMV was, say, $20,100 that he saw TMV go from $20,100 to $20,600. Did I assume correctly or did I gloss over a post and goof up again? Bill

Replying to: im_brentwood (Sep 26, 2007 11:37 am) Yes you did. Edmunds lists the MSRP and invoice (both of which are unchanged). Next they list "National Base Price" which is usually somewhere between the two. This is the number that went up. This I assume represents the average for sales nationwide not considering any regional factors. Edmunds also include a separate "regional adjustment" which factors in local conditions. I've seen this change from month to month but not by much. They also include "color adjustment" and delivery separately. The total of all these is TMV. BTW, this is for 2008 models I am looking at so I don't think low supply had anything to do with it. Maybe one of you guys on these forums went out and got "clubbed like a baby seal" and skewed the average.

Today I was checking TMV for a 2007 car I'm tracking to see if the rebates have increased. Where previously was listed a rebate amount in the TMV calculation it said simply "available". I clicked on this and was shown a list of $500 rebates for special groups such as military or recent grads. The funny thing, on the same page was an advertisement for the same car promoting a $2000 unrestricted rebate. TMV didn't list this. Why would this be?

| Thank you for reformating your "research and spec" back to the old format. Now I can get the info for the model I interested,i.e. deluxe vs base. | |
| I checked few cars True Market Value from begining of 1990 and it was like 800$ max with best configuration and condition, in www.autotrader.com this cars were priced 800-2000$, why there's such difference? | |
