Well that sucks, looks like Edmunds has sunsetted their Open Vehicle Data API initiative.

http://edmunds.mashery.com/faq#api_disabled
As our API developer base has grown, an increasing amount of our engineering resources have been required to support the open API Program, and thereby diverted from our business. To refocus our engineering efforts and to better align ourselves with the evolving needs of our car shoppers, dealers and automotive advertisers, we are retiring our open API Program. You can read our full announcement here.

I've found both https://www.car-database-api.com and https://www.marketcheck.com/automotive, but do you know of any free to nearly free alternatives?

Edmunds sunset their open Vehicle Data API, forcing dealers and developers to find alternatives. The thread discusses the API's discontinuation and mentions a few third-party options like car-database-api.com and marketcheck.com, though one commenter notes that Edmunds had already been restricting API access since 2016 and suggests that viable alternatives are scarce enough that some developers chose to build their own solutions instead.
