Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the car worth calculator?
Our calculator uses current market data and industry-standard depreciation models to provide accurate estimates. However, actual values may vary based on specific vehicle condition, local market conditions, and negotiation.
Can I get a valuation by VIN number?
Yes! Enter your 17-character VIN number and we'll automatically retrieve your vehicle's details including make, model, year, and specifications. You can then complete the remaining information for a more accurate valuation.
What's the difference between trade-in, private sale, and dealer retail values?
Trade-in value is what a dealer might offer you. Private sale value is what you could get selling directly to another person. Dealer retail is what a dealer would sell the same vehicle for. Private sale typically offers the highest return.
How often should I check my car's value?
Vehicle values change over time due to market conditions, new model releases, and seasonal factors. We recommend checking your car's value every 3-6 months, especially if you're planning to sell or trade-in.
Does location really affect my car's value?
Yes, location significantly impacts vehicle values. Urban areas, major cities, and regions with high demand for specific vehicle types can command higher prices. Our calculator adjusts for your location.
What if my car has modifications?
Modifications can either increase or decrease value depending on the type and quality. Professional, desirable modifications may add value, while extensive or poor-quality modifications can reduce it. Our calculator provides a base estimate.
