What determines
your car's value?
A calculated valuation is an estimate. A specific purchase offer shows what a buyer is actually willing to pay on the agreed terms.
Make, model, variant, age and mileage provide the starting point. Service history, equipment, previous damage, tyre condition and current demand can move the valuation up or down.
Letting several relevant professional buyers see the same information gives you a more consistent basis for comparing offers and making a decision.
The process
Three simple steps
Gather your car's details
Use the registration number and check the model, variant, year and mileage.
Document its condition
A service book, receipts and clear details of faults make the valuation more accurate.
Request specific offers
Compare amounts and terms from relevant buyers before making your decision.
Be prepared
How to improve the basis for a valuation
A realistic valuation requires more than a make and year. Provide details of optional equipment, servicing, new parts and damage, including faults that do not show in photos.
The market changes. Current offers are therefore often more relevant than an old listing price or a general rule of thumb.
- Correct variant, year and mileage
- Full or partial service history
- A description of cosmetic and technical faults
- An overview of equipment, wheel sets and number of keys
