Dealer (Mind Loft)
Guess the starting sticker price of the day's vehicle, in five tries.
Every day: One vehicle a day, the same for every player, with five guesses at its starting MSRP and a daily leaderboard. New puzzle: Midnight US Eastern Time.
Dealer is a free daily price game from Mind Loft. Each day shows one vehicle, mostly cars with the odd van, pickup or motorcycle, and you get five guesses at its starting MSRP, the maker's own base price. Your closest guess sets your score out of 10.
About Dealer (Mind Loft)
Dealer asks one question a day: what does this vehicle cost new? The card shows a photo, the model year and name, the trim (usually the base trim) and where and when the price was taken, for example from the maker's own site. It is mostly cars, with a work van, a pickup or a motorcycle now and then.
You type a dollar figure and get five tries. Each guess is marked higher or lower and given a hot or cold reading. The closest guess sets your score from 0 to 10, with a guess within 1 percent counting as a bullseye. Because everyone gets the same vehicle, the leaderboard ranks score, then exact closeness, then fewer guesses, then time.
Dealer is one of the five games in Price Check, the Mind Loft circuit that plays Pricer, Dealer, Realtor, Agent and Curator in a row for a score out of 50. A new vehicle appears every day at midnight Eastern.

Tips
- The price is the base trim's starting MSRP, not a well-equipped car on a dealer lot.
- Badges matter: a sports or luxury brand can start at several times the price of a family car of similar size.
- Bracket the price with your first two guesses, then split the difference.
