What Affects the Value of Your Car?

When you sell your car, you will want to make sure that you get the best price possible for it, and there are a number of various factors which will affect its value. The main influencing factors are the make, model and year of manufacture, but there are a few others that could impact your vehicle valuation.

Mileage

The more usage a car has had, the more likely it is to encounter problems and show signs of wear and tear. For these reasons, vehicles with low mileage will retain more value than those with a lot of miles on the clock.

Condition

The condition of a vehicle will also impact its price. If a car has been well maintained, it will be worth more than one with scratches, dents, rips in the interior fabric and other imperfections. If you can get repairs done before selling, you could bump up the sale price of your car.

Previous owners

The number of previous owners that a car has had in its lifetime is also a factor affecting its value. Models with fewer previous owners will fetch a higher price.

Service history

A full service history will reassure potential buyers that a vehicle has been well maintained and it will be worth more money.

Current market price

The Car Buyerz use the latest market data to provide accurate and fair valuations, so when you sell your vehicle with us, the average price of the model will be taken into account in the offer we make.

Modifications

Most buyers want unmodified cars, so if your vehicle does have customisations, it may not be as desirable or valuable unless you can find a buyer who specifically wants the added modification.

Who you decide to sell your vehicle to will also impact the price and at The Car Buyerz, our valuations are highly competitive and we will be provided on the same day you apply. Find out how much we will buy your car for by getting a free online valuation today!
