    Also a scam, they’re terrible at valuations in both directions. They’ve gotten lazy with fame.

      Well they don’t give regional numbers, at least anytime I have used it.

      Can’t really use something national when a used Honda Accord is 5k more expensive in MA than Georgia or Florida, for example.

        Unless there’s some state level tax implications or a car that’s sensitive to rust in the desert that makes the car more or less valuable. I don’t see why the national average can’t be used?

        There’s an argument to say a state with a lower average income should have lower fines, but really then might as well have fines based on income / networth

          I guess it depends on how heavily it would be weighted in the ticket price. It would suck to get a ticket 3x more expensive, because Geo Metros became retro and your 2,500 shit box is worth 8,000 in your hipster market.
