Pricetacular is the creation of two guys who are car enthusiasts. Over the last decade, they have collectively bought, owned, and sold over 30 cars (some new, but mostly used). While doing the research to prepare for the purchase or sale of each vehicle, they realized that there’s not a true source of real, actual car transaction prices. There’s the published invoice price, MSRP price, book value, trade-in value, private-party value, etc, etc, etc, but there was no visibility on REAL, ACTUAL transaction prices.

Our goal with Pricetacular is to provide price transparency for vehicle transactions, as well as provide a community for people to share & discuss prices. There’s price transparency in almost every other marketplace, so why not have one for cars & trucks too!
