Hi Chris, based on kbb.com your car is priced above market value. Kbb.com says private party value is around $13,719. So your asking price of $16,250 is high as indicated on your ad. I believe Cargurus gets it's information from sites such as kbb.com, NADA, etc. plus what others are asking for similar vehicles. Cargurus is also only an ad site so there's no reason for them to deliberately put an unfavorable price guide rating on anyone's ad. Hope that helps! Jim

CG's uses an algorithms to compare car prices and make the value determination. If you try to get dealer prices for your car you will get a high price rating.
