Abstract

A price check system may receive a vehicle identification number (VIN) or determine the VIN via an image from a mobile price check application. The price check system may determine if build data is available for a vehicle associated with the VIN and, if build data is available for the vehicle, determine one or more prices for the vehicle based on the build data and provide same to the mobile price check application. If build data is not available for the vehicle, the price check system may prepare and send a request to the mobile price check application to obtain configuration information on the vehicle from a user of the mobile price check application. The price check system may then determine one or more prices for the vehicle based on the configuration information and provide same to the mobile price check application in real time or substantially real time.
