AUTOMOTIVE INTELLIGENCE COVERING NEW CAR PRICES, BEST CAR DEALS AND MORE

TrueCar.com’s Price Flex Score7The TrueCar.com Price Flex Score measures the elasticity of transaction price by model. The Price Flex Score calculation dynami-cally incorporates the factors that affect price variance including the model’s transaction price range, current inventory and sales data. A vehicle experiencing extremely low inventory and a small range of transaction prices will have a low Price Flex Score. Don’t expect much of a discount from the TrueCar.com average transaction price on a vehicle with a low Price Flex Score. If a vehicle has a high Price Flex Score, however, you have the potential to strike a deal significantly below (or above, if you’re not careful!) the TrueCar.com average transaction price.

Performance Scorecards

2

The TrueCar.com Scorecard measures the overall performance of a brand or manufacturer based on pricing, sales, incentives, customer loyalty, market share, and inventory turn data.

Greatest Discounts9

10

Featuring the highest discounts on 2013 models. Large Trucks, Large Cars and Vans offer the greatest discounts at an average below MSRP of 7.5% or more. The top 2013 brands with the biggest discounts are Suzuki, Ram, GMC, Ford, and Chrysler. The overall industry discount is 6.4%.

Largest Total Incentives for February

11

This month, the 2012 Toyota Tundra has the largest total incentives with $8,000 in incentives.

For each body type, TrueCar.com.com tracks the average transaction price for each trim and lists the vehicles with the greatest drop in price month over month. This month’s greatest drop in price is in the Luxury Sport Car segment, with a $1,935 difference from last month on the 2013 Infiniti G37 Coupe.

Shortest and Longest Days in Inventory12Vans, Large SUVs, and Large Trucks are where the best potential inventory-based discounts will be seen. On average, Vans are staying in inventory for 83 days and Large SUVs and Large Trucks are on-lot for 78 and 68 days respectively. The average days in inventory is 53 days. Luxury SUVs have an average inventory stay of 39 days, Subcompact Cars for 46 days, and Midsize Cars at 47 days.

Model Year Share13Model Year Share shows the percentage of 2012, and 2013 model year vehicles that have been sold within the last month. The makes with the highest percentage of 2012 Model Year Share are Ram, Scion, Jaguar, Buick, and FIAT. Model year 2013 vehicles make up the majority of the market this month at 81.4%.

TrueMPG™The goal of TrueMPG™ is to measure the actual miles per gallon of all vehicles sold in a given month. Calculations start at the trim level, taking into account EPA fuel economy data that includes engine size and drivetrain factors that affect a vehicle’s MPG ratings. TrueMPG™ aims to illustrate the actual MPG’s of each brand, manufacturer and vehicle segments to give consumers, media, and the industry a better understanding of fuel efficiency. To ascertain TrueMPG™, TrueCar.com utilizes the EPA’s average fuel economy rating using 45 percent highway and 55 percent city driving behavior. The overall industry MPG is 23.4 for January 2013.

Model Year Share shows the percentage share of 2012, and 2013 model year vehicles sold within the last month versus vehicles of any other model year sold. Generally, the higher the model year share value, the higher the discount a consumer can expect to receive on that given model. It also reflects that dealers are more likely to cut deals on a 2012. At this time of year, many brand’s model year mix are predominantly comprised of 2013’s.
