Multiple VIN patterns can share the same trim. Compare their recorded equipment, then open a specification page for the full details.
Specifications combine decoded VIN data, including

, with inventory records. If decoding does not identify a trim, a recorded inventory trim may be shown. VIN patterns do not confirm every installed option.
Counts describe observed VINs in our database, not factory production totals. Prices are median asking prices from qualifying U.S. listings, not original MSRP. Check the vehicle’s build sheet for exact equipment.

How we calculate these prices
We track 19 active listings for this vehicle across dealer
sites nationwide, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices
on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to reduce the influence of extreme values.
This does not verify title status or guarantee that every erroneous listing is excluded. Prices
reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and
incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
