When the user asks about a vehicle's price, worth, or market value and has a VIN:

1. Optionally refine the estimate with these parameters if the user mentions them:
   - `state` — US state code (e.g., `CA`, `TX`) for regional pricing
   - `mileage` — current mileage to adjust the value
   - `condition` — vehicle condition: `excellent`, `clean`, `average`, or `rough`
2. Make an HTTP GET request to the CarsXE Market Value API:
   ```
   GET https://api.carsxe.com/v2/marketvalue?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&vin={VIN}&source=codex_plugin
   ```
   Append `&state=<STATE>`, `&mileage=<MILEAGE>`, and/or `&condition=<CONDITION>` if provided.
3. Present the estimated market value clearly, including:
   - Current value estimate
   - Low / average / high range if available
