Asking about a car you saw on OAV?
OAV doesn’t sell cars. Open the car on OAV and use “Request availability and out-the-door price”. Your question goes straight to the dealer, and their answer comes back to you by email.

FAQs
Common questions
What is OAV™?
OAV™ is the Automotive Answer Engine — an independent evidence layer that evaluates dealer-advertised vehicles against supported local and regional market evidence. Each published result shows what OAV™ can conclude, what evidence supports it, and when the market snapshot was taken
Where does OAV™ get its vehicle data?
OAV™ uses licensed inventory data from authorized providers and dealer sources. This data is standardized and processed using patented technology to enable consistent analysis across listings and markets.
How does OAV™ evaluate vehicles?
OAV™ evaluates vehicles using a versioned methodology that compares the advertised price against the supported comparable range; days-on-lot and sell-through are evaluated separately and do not change the price verdict. When the evidence supports a conclusion, the vehicle is shown as Great Deal, Fair Price, or Overpriced. When it does not, the vehicle is shown as Unscored rather than forced into a rating.
Does OAV™ sell vehicles?
OAV™ does not sell vehicles or own dealer inventory. OAV™ independently evaluates dealer-advertised listings against supported market evidence. Dealer business information may appear publicly in OAV™ market pages and dealer profiles. Claimed dealers can manage profile details, improve contact routing, and access deeper RetailVision™ analytics.
Is OAV™ available nationwide?
OAV™ tracks dealer inventory across major U.S. markets and continues expanding structured coverage as data availability and market models improve.
What is the relationship between OAV™ and RetailVision™?
OAV™ is the platform where users search and evaluate vehicles using independently evaluated market evidence. RetailVision™ is the platform dealers use to analyze their inventory, understand market position, and improve the completeness and accuracy of their listing data — it does not change how OAV™ ranks or rates a vehicle.
How can dealers participate in OAV™ discovery?
Dealer listings appear automatically in OAV™ search results. Dealers can claim their profile through RetailVision™ to manage listing accuracy and completeness, improve contact routing, and access deeper market analytics — none of this changes a vehicle’s OAV™ verdict or ranking.
What are MRP™ and TRV™?
MRP™ (Market Retail Price) is the midpoint of the comparable market range — the representative price the market is currently asking for similar vehicles. TRV™ (True Retail Value) is the average price actually paid for comparable vehicles in the last 60 days of sold data — an estimate, not an appraisal. Both are separate from the OAV™ price verdict (Great Deal, Fair Price, Overpriced or Unscored), which compares the advertised price against the supported comparable range.
