Fair price, market signal, reviews, and common issues — all in one place. Tuned to ZIP 43215 (from your location).
Fair price range
$27,100

medium confidence
Why medium confidence?
A moderately common vehicle — the price range is reasonable but expect some spread.
Est. out-the-door
$29,715
$27,087 — $32,342
What's OTD?
Out-the-door is the total check you actually write — asking price + sales tax + doc fee + registration. Reddit “what I paid” reports are usually OTD, so this is the honest number to compare against.
Listing: $27,100 + $1,965 tax + $500 doc + $150 reg = $29,715
