The price on every ClearTurn listing equals the auction source cost, transport to our lot, recon and inspection labor, and a flat honest margin — plus tax, tag, and title. No line item is layered on at the table. The number you see is the number you pay.
Every vehicle is priced by adding up the real costs and applying a flat, honest margin. No line item is hidden. The example on the right shows the same shape every listing follows: auction source, transport, recon, our margin, and tax/tag/title.
Dealers typically add $400–$900 in dealer prep or doc fees. We don't charge these — they're already absorbed into the listed number.
Our auction access is wholesale — the cost is part of the price, not a surcharge at the table. Buyers never pay a "auction procurement fee."
Numbers are illustrative. Actual costs vary per vehicle. Tax is set by the state and identical regardless of dealer.
On every listing you'll see a small panel showing roughly how much you'd save buying from us versus a typical retail dealer. That figure isn't a marketing estimate — it's computed from each unit's actual data: the price ClearTurn paid at wholesale auction, plus an industry-typical wholesale-to-retail markup that reflects what the same vehicle would cost at a franchise dealer lot.
The formula is straightforward: we take the auction purchase price we recorded for that specific vehicle, apply a wholesale-to-retail markup that approximates what a franchise dealer would charge for the same unit, and subtract our all-in price. The difference is the savings. The number you see on the listing page is computed per-vehicle from that math.
An all-in number that holds up to comparison, and a savings comparable that comes from each unit's own auction data.
There's no $400–$900 dealer prep or documentation fee layered on at signing.
Wholesale acquisition cost is part of the listed price — not a separate line at the table.
State registration and title transfer are baked in. The number you see is the number you pay.
Because we source at wholesale prices retail buyers can't access, our all-in number often beats a franchise dealer's advertised base price before the savings panel is even applied.
Every listing carries the savings panel described above — computed from each unit's own auction purchase price. Browse the inventory and submit an inquiry on any vehicle that fits what you're looking for.
