What listing history means on Prevost List
How to read sources, timeline events, and thin history without treating the directory like a credit bureau.
Short answer: Listing history on Prevost List is an indexed trail of dealer (and FSBO) appearances for a coach — not a government title history and not a promise that every private sale was captured.
What “Sources” usually means
When a coach page shows multiple sources or timeline events, those are listing snapshots Prevost List has parsed and attached to the same coach identity. Examples:
- The same coach reappearing at a dealer with a new price
- Stock number continuity across updates
- A later sold/delisted heuristic when inventory disappears
Thin history (one source, one event) is common early in a crawl’s life. That is honesty, not failure.
How to read the timeline
- Listed — we indexed an active (or previously active) listing appearance.
- Price changes — when snapshots show a different asking price.
- Sold / delisted signals — heuristics and reports; treat unlabeled community prices carefully.
Never assume missing years mean the coach sat idle. It may have been off-market, at a dealer we do not cover yet, or sold privately.
Price confidence
Listed asking prices are not sold prices. Community-reported sold figures are labeled by source confidence on purpose. The paid Verified Coach Record only asserts prices it can attribute — everything else stays clearly marked.
