FIPE table: how to check vehicle prices
Query FIPE by code or text search and interpret vehicle pricing output correctly.
Step-by-step
- Open the UTILTOOLS FIPE lookup tool.
- Choose vehicle type (car, motorcycle, or truck).
- If you have a FIPE code, enter it directly. Otherwise, use text search by brand, model, and year.
- Select the exact vehicle version and confirm the returned reference month.
- Use FIPE as baseline and adjust by real condition (mileage, maintenance, and market context).
What FIPE pricing means
FIPE is a Brazilian reference table with average vehicle prices. It is commonly used for negotiation, valuation, and insurance contexts.
FIPE is a reference baseline, not a mandatory final sale price.
Lookup by FIPE code (most accurate path)
When you already know the FIPE code, lookup is usually faster and less ambiguous because the exact version is predefined.
Code format example: `001004-9`. The tool returns the reference month and corresponding FIPE value.
Text lookup by brand, model, and year
If you do not have the code, search using brand, model, and year/model, then choose the exact version from the result list.
This is practical when you only have marketplace listing data or basic vehicle details.
How to interpret FIPE output
Always compare equivalent vehicles with matching version, engine, and model year. Small version mismatches can distort valuation.
Adjust FIPE baseline based on mileage, condition, maintenance history, and local demand.
Frequent FIPE lookup mistakes
Mixing manufacturing year with model year, choosing the wrong trim, and ignoring the reference month are common issues.
For professional workflows, keep records of code, reference month, and lookup date.
