The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary.

The 1.0L 3-cyl Fortwo: common questions

Which Fortwo years have the 1.0L 3-cyl?

2008–2015, without a break — 8 model years in our VIN decode, across 16 factory configurations and 13,185 VINs.

What does a 1.0L 3-cyl Fortwo cost?

$6,888 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
