Tom Taira (ID: 000000526e9c4d08) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/20/2018 This is good for private party but if I'm looking for a page, it would only seem right to have the retail price shown as well. In addition, it is very easy to map these sites to prefill the year make and model (and trim in some cases). It's also easy to identify a VIN on any page, so you may want to simply do a VIN decode which can get you to make and model very easily with very little work.
