Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $17,900 to $26,000 with a median of $21,300, and this offer is within the market: 6% under the median.

Insight: The price is in line with the market — a balanced offer.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 1, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Authorised user added (power of attorney) on 06.12.2021. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.
