How this deal is rated

OAV compares this 2018 Buick Encore against similar vehicles currently available in the local and regional market — same make, model, and year range, using trim where trim data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparables for odometer; on very high-mileage vehicles it withholds a verdict rather than overstate a discount the odometer explains. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:

• Great Deal — priced below the typical range for comparable vehicles.
• Fair Price — priced within the expected range for comparable vehicles.
• Overpriced — priced above the typical range for comparable vehicles.
