- Checked against the linked sources on Nov 12, 2026. Plans change; we re-check quarterly and when an automaker announces a change.
- Used counts and medians are CarWhere's snapshot of active used and certified listings at US dealers (Nov 7, 2026), from licensed vehicle-data providers. They are asking prices, not transaction prices.
