Manufacturer MSRPReference
$28,165This vehicle $28,165 · priced at MSRP
MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price, shown for reference only. OAV rates new-car deals by how far below the supported comparable range a vehicle is priced (see OAV's market comparables / MRP and sold-price value / TRV) — not by discount from MSRP, because dealer-supplied MSRP is not independently verified. The advertised price is set by the dealer and may require financing, rebates, trade-in, or other qualifications, and excludes taxes, fees, and dealer add-ons — confirm the out-the-door price with the dealer.

OAV's independent, evidence-backed Price-to-Market analysis rates this vehicle as Fair Price — priced in line with the supported comparable range. Based on 13 comparable listings matched to this vehicle, the estimated market range is $25,200 to $29,245. The comparable range in TX is $25,200 to $29,245. These comparisons match year, make, and model, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage — every price shown is the real advertised price. On used vehicles, mileage can still cause OAV to withhold a verdict — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than call it a deal it can't support.
This vehicle has been on the lot for 1223 days.
Analysis powered by OAV's patented inventory standardization technology (U.S. Patent No. 12,236,477). Verdict methodology ptm-verdict-v1 · snapshot Sep 22, 2026. The comparable band (patent pending) is the input; ptm-verdict-v1 is the versioned OAV rule set that turns it into this verdict.
Market context
This listing is part of OAV's broader Houston, TX suvs market analysis. OAV compares vehicles by local and regional price-to-market ranges and comparable count; days-on-lot and demand signals are shown separately, not as verdict inputs.
How this deal is rated
OAV compares this 2022 Buick Encore against similar vehicles currently available for sale — same make, model, and year range, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage; on used vehicles it withholds a verdict when mileage would distort the comparison — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than overstate a deal. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:
- Great Deal — priced below the comparable-range floor by a meaningful margin (OAV's minimum-gap rule); a listing below the floor by less than that margin is Fair Price.
- Fair Price — priced within the expected range for comparable vehicles.
- Overpriced — priced above the typical range for comparable vehicles.
- Unscored — OAV withholds a verdict when the evidence cannot support one: too few or too widely spread comparables, a price it cannot validate, a branded or salvage title, or mileage that would distort the comparison. The listing stays visible; only the rating is withheld.
Listings show OAV's PTM-derived deal quality and live market context. OAV-claimed dealers manage their listing profile and route buyer inquiries directly. Paid OAV partners can surface additional verification signals, but commercial participation never changes a listing's Price-to-Market verdict, eligibility, ranking, or confidence.
