TrueCar Launches ClearBook.com
Removes subjectivity from used car valuations and replaces it with objective, accurate, comprehensive data
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In a development that will change how consumers answer the fundamental question, "What's My Car Really Worth?", TrueCar, Inc., a leading automotive market innovator, introduces ClearBook.com, the first used car vehicle index which analyzes the complete used car market and presents an analytical snapshot of how the entire market is behaving - finally removing the subjectivity of brand based editorialized guidance and replacing it with clear, indisputable pricing analysis based on actual market data.

"With the current guidance available, it is virtually impossible to truly understand with objective clarity and absolute certainty what your vehicle is really worth at any given time in any specific location," said Scott Painter, Founder and CEO of TrueCar, Inc. "The only way to objectively understand what your car is really worth is by understanding real market behavior. ClearBook solves this problem by aggregating and presenting this data in a way that has never been possible or attempted before."
ClearBook analyzes the entire used car marketplace and scours millions of listings to provide consumers and dealers with asking price guidance for their used car based on year, make, model, mileage, and condition. A used car price report is then dynamically generated, helping consumers and dealers make better sense of the market. For the first time, ClearBook helps objectively identify the parameters of a fair deal for both buyer and seller. Future releases of ClearBook will include transaction and wholesale pricing data.
ClearBook is now available at http://www.clearbook.com.
