Notes
While we strive for accuracy, the site is not error-free, and prices can change at any time.
The "TrueDelta Value Comparison" figures optionally include rebates available to the general public in the Chicago area (e.g. they include bonuses from finance subsidiaries but not those for current owners or the military) and adjustments for most differences in feature content. However, they do not include advertising fees, factory-to-dealer incentives, or differences in engines, tires, seat configurations, and audio systems. Exceptions: They do include values for third-row seats and media players.
Usually the base prices, options, and packages you see here match those on the window stickers. However, in some cases these have been restructured to simplify the database and calculations. These modifictions have no impact on the "total" and "net" figures.
Writers: Please acknowledge TrueDelta.com when using these figures.
