A Better Way To Buy Used – Our Pricing Strategy

We believe that finding the right vehicle should be simple and stress-free. That’s why our Lighthouse Pricing strategy is built on transparency. Instead of inflating prices just to negotiate them back down, we price our used vehicles to sell — so you can shop with confidence knowing you’re getting a fair deal from the start.

1 – Market Demand

Market demand reflects how desirable a vehicle is in the current market. We start by analyzing trends in the Central Illinois area, then broaden our data when needed. If demand for a particular make or model is high, its value increases. If demand is low, we adjust accordingly.

2 – Engagement

Once a vehicle is listed online, we track the level of customer interest — views, inquiries, and test-drive requests. High engagement means strong buyer interest, which helps us confirm that pricing is on target. If engagement slows, we re-evaluate to keep pricing competitive.

3 – Vehicle History

You know the saying — “What does the CARFAX say?” A vehicle’s history plays a major role in determining its value. Fewer accidents, regular maintenance, and a clean record typically raise a vehicle’s worth. Damage or repair history, Lemon Law Buybacks, Previous Canadian and Rebuilt/Salvage titles can lower it.

4 – Vehicle Age

Time matters. Our goal is to connect every vehicle with a new owner as soon as possible. The longer a vehicle remains in inventory, the more its price is adjusted to reflect market timing and ensure it remains an exceptional value.
