How these deals are ranked
OAV evaluates current dealer inventory with proprietary price-to-market analysis, comparable depth, days-on-lot, and live VIN validation — not a generic listings feed. The exact eligibility rules for this board:
- New inventory only (dealer-reported condition = new)
- Consumer vehicles only — commercial/fleet (chassis cabs, cutaways, cargo vans) excluded
- Model year 2024 or newer
- Excludes demo/loaner: over 1,500 miles
- Unreported mileage is disclosed, never assumed factory-fresh
- Excludes stale inventory: over 60 days on lot
- Excludes deep-price anomalies: priced below 70% of the lowest comparable
- Minimum comparable depth: 10 comparable listings
- MRP = midpoint of the comparable price range
- Discount = (MRP − asking price) ÷ MRP
- Every ranked VIN revalidated against live inventory at generation
According to RetailVision™ data, OAV is currently analyzing approximately 2,100 new vehicles across the Salem, OR market.
How OAV Identifies Deals
OAV uses RetailVision™ market data to analyze current listings, historical sales patterns, and local market conditions. Vehicles are ranked based on pricing versus comparable listings in the same region and expected sell-through velocity.
- Millions of local retail comparables across U.S. markets.
- Vehicles compared on year, make, model, and trim (when available) within the local and regional market.
- Real price-to-market ranges from regularly refreshed market data.
- Days on lot incorporated as a sell-through velocity signal.
- Listings priced below their typical market range surface as undervalued — a great deal or a good deal compared to similar vehicles in the local market.
- Listings within the typical range surface as fairly priced — in line with what comparable vehicles are listed for locally.
- Listings priced above the typical range surface as above market — higher than what comparable vehicles are typically listed for in the area.
- Dealer business information is public on every profile. OAV-claimed dealers manage their profile directly and route inquiries through OAV.
This helps identify undervalued vehicles and determine whether a listing represents a great deal or a good deal in its local market.
