Valuation Factors

When it comes to valuing your vehicle, there are several key factors that influence its trade-in or resale price. This includes: 

• Mileage: Lower mileage typically boosts a vehicle’s value, as cars with fewer miles are usually in better condition and have more life left.
• Condition: A well-maintained car with minimal wear and tear is worth more.
• Year: Relatively newer cars have a stronger resale value and trade-in price.
• Make/Model: Reputable autobrand known for durable vehicles will hold their value better. 
• Service History: A full maintenance record demonstrating proper care for a vehicle will increase its value and reliability.
• Market Demand: A vehicle in high market demand will increase the market price comparatively to less popular models.

Get the Most for Your Vehicle

Maximizing your vehicle’s value can go a long way and the progress is easier than you might think and can be done from the comfort of your own home. 

For instance, thoroughly cleaning your car, inside and out, gives it a strong first impression and sets you up to get the best possible value. Gathering maintenance records provides a detailed history of your vehicle, showing that it has been properly cared for and establishing credibility. Even simply checking tire pressure and fluid levels can make all the difference to boost your chances of achieving maximum value. 

Taking these easy to do steps will set you up for success when you come to us for your vehicle appraisal. Whether you’re trading-in or selling, we want to help you get the highest possible value for your ride.
