About CarFlipIQ

Used-car market intelligence built for people who buy cars to make money — not for the showroom.

CarFlipIQ exists to answer one question that decides whether a car deal makes money: after fees, transport, taxes, and repairs, can you actually resell this vehicle for a profit in your local market? Most buyers guess. We measure.

We aggregate 2M+ used-vehicle listings analyzed and 730,000+ price-history records across all 50 US states and major metros. Instead of a single national average, CarFlipIQ shows the real median price, price movement, and days-on-market for a specific year, make, and model where you actually sell — because local reality, not a nationwide guess, is what determines your margin.

Who we built it for

CarFlipIQ is built for independent car flippers, used-car dealers, and wholesalers — the people sourcing vehicles at Copart, IAAI, Manheim, ADESA, public auctions, and private sellers who need to know the resale ceiling before they raise a hand. If you have ever won a car at auction and then discovered it sits for 90 days or sells for less than you paid all-in, the product is built for that exact problem.

How it works

1. Aggregate

Continuously collect active + sold used-car listings across 50+ states, with full price history.

2. Localize

Compute median price, price movement, and days-on-market at the metro/ZIP level — not national averages.

3. Decide

Surface the resale ceiling and sell-speed so you only buy when the math works — at any auction or private sale.

Free tools, no signup

We publish free calculators that solve the "what will this cost me" half of every deal: Copart Fee Calculator, IAAI Fee Calculator, Vehicle Sales Tax Calculator, Salvage and Rebuilt Title value calculators, and more in the full tools library.

FAQ

What is CarFlipIQ?

CarFlipIQ is a vehicle market-intelligence platform for car flippers, dealers, and wholesalers. It tracks pricing and days-on-market across 2M+ used-car listings analyzed in all 50 US states, so buyers know the real local price — and how fast it moves — in their local market before they buy.

Who is CarFlipIQ for?

Independent car flippers, used-car dealers, and wholesalers who buy at auction (Copart, IAAI, Manheim, ADESA) or from private sellers and need to know the real local resale value and sell-speed before committing capital.

Where does CarFlipIQ's data come from?

CarFlipIQ aggregates active and sold used-vehicle listings from across the US — 2M+ listings and 730,000+ price-history records spanning all 50 states and major metros — and computes median pricing, price movement, and days-on-market at the local level rather than national averages.

How is CarFlipIQ different from a national pricing guide?

National guides give one number for the whole country. CarFlipIQ shows the real local price for a specific year/make/model in your ZIP and how long it takes to move — because a car worth $9,000 in one metro can be $7,500 in another, and that gap is the difference between a profitable flip and a loss.

What does CarFlipIQ cost?

The auction-cost and value calculators are free with no signup. Full market access (unlimited searches, multi-state data, seller intelligence, alerts) is available on paid plans — Essentials, Edge, and Elite. See the pricing page for current tiers.
