FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where do you get your pricing?  VMR's pricing data is compiled from several different sources.   Auction results, our exclusive Value-Track® database, actual sale reports from our helpline, government data, and new car inventory levels and incentives are included in our pricing model.

Why do your values differ from what the dealer is asking?  VMR compiles actual market data.  We have no agenda and publish numbers the way they really are, not how some guide, organization or dealer thinks they should be.  

Do trim packages listed with trucks include power accessories?  No. All van and truck trim packages have been "decontented" so you do not have to worry about figuring out what was standard and what wasn't for the myriad of trim and equipment packages available. The pricing reflects adjustments for the trim only (chrome, upgraded interior, etc.) -- you still need to go to the Truck Equipment Table.

The dealer tells me that your prices are national, and that pricing is higher in our region.  Unlike the United States, in Canada this is often true.  This is due to the vast geographic area Canada encompasses and the relatively low population that is mostly concentrated in a few areas.  We do offer a Region Adjustment Table that is accessible from each price page, but consider is a guide and not absolute.  We sometimes see substantial  deviations from our averaged values for different models, particularly in remote areas.
