Which Black Book product a used-car buyer is looking at
Cherry is Black Book's flagship dealer app; its listing describes combing run lists to flag inventory that fits your dealership. Used Car Price Point is the desktop guide with wholesale, retail, trade-in and history-adjusted values.
Where CarFlipIQ fits
CarFlipIQ is a different kind of tool: it prices a car from local Facebook Marketplace listings with its own LocalIQ™ index and turns that into a max bid, including on Copart and IAAI lot pages. It does not resell any of the guides on this page. Current plans are on the CarFlipIQ pricing page.
