How It Works
Three steps to smarter buying decisions
We collect real listing data daily
CarCast ingests median prices for 1138 vehicle models every day from live dealer inventory across the US.
AI forecasts where prices are heading
Our proprietary AI engine analyzes historical price patterns and generates 30-60 day forecasts with confidence intervals.
You see where prices are heading
Each vehicle gets a plain-English Rising / Stable / Softening trend classification, backed by data. No guesswork, just numbers — informational analytics only, not financial advice.
Intelligence Tools
More signal, less noise
Tools built for timing, not just tracking.
Price Trend Gauge
Every vehicle model gets a clear, instant trend classification: Strong Rising, Rising, Stable, Softening, or Strong Softening. No spreadsheets — just one gauge that summarizes where the AI projects listing prices to move. Built on the same forecasting model behind the 30 and 60-day outlooks.
See it live →Market Sentiment
CarCast scans thousands of real buyer and seller conversations across the web to gauge market sentiment for every vehicle model. Are buyers leaning up or down? Pair the crowd sentiment with the AI forecast for a more complete picture.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the data come from?
We aggregate pricing data from MarketCheck (dealer listings covering millions of active used cars across the U.S.) and public market indices including FRED regional CPI data. Data is refreshed weekly from live listings.
How accurate are the forecasts?
Our backtesting shows a mean absolute error of 3-5% on 30-day forecasts across our tracked vehicles. Accuracy varies by vehicle volatility — trucks and EVs tend to be more volatile than sedans.
Does this replace vAuto or Black Book?
No. vAuto and Black Book tell you where prices are today. CarCast tells you where prices are going. They're complementary — use CarCast for timing decisions, your existing tools for current valuations.
What's included in the free plan?
30-day forecasts on every tracked vehicle model, 20 API requests per day, community support. No credit card required to start. Upgrade to Pro for the 60-day forecast horizon, price alerts, and the weekly market digest.
Can I use this for wholesale buying decisions?
Absolutely. Many of our users are wholesale buyers who use CarCast to time their auction purchases. The 30-60 day forecasts help you avoid buying into a declining market.
Does the Pro trial require a credit card?
Yes. The 7-day Pro trial requires a card on file so we can transition you to the paid plan automatically when the trial ends. Cancel anytime in your account settings — no charge if you cancel before day 7.
