Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 37 contracts (avg 132 vol/day, 25 traded recently)

CARS averages only 132 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $12.50 09-18 call last traded $0.70 on 07/31 (now $0.60/$1.05) — try a limit near $0.70. Also watch the $10.00 08-21 call last traded $2.30 on 07/30 (now $1.75/$3.30) — try a limit near $2.30; the $10.00 03-19 call last traded $3.00 on 07/31 (now $1.90/$4.30) — try a limit near $3.00. Most tradeable put: the $10.00 03-19 put last traded $0.90 on 07/30 (now $0.60/$1.35) — try a limit near $0.90.
