What determines Your trade-in car value?

During the vehicle appraisal process, several factors come into play that can influence the value of your car.

  • Make and Model: Certain brands and models hold value more effectively than others.
  • Age: The older your vehicle is, the lower your trade-in value.
  • Trim: The vehicle's trim level plays an important role when looking to get a good trade-in value, as it refers to the specific specifications of the engine, standard features, number of doors, colour, and other available options.
  • Condition: Rust spots, dents, and improper repairs can all reduce the car's value. However, a well-maintained and cared-for vehicle will positively impact its overall value.
  • Options: The value of a car can be influenced by a range of features, some of which can elevate its worth, while others might have a negative impact. For example, leather seats add more value than standard cloth seats, and power windows are considered more desirable than manual ones. Additionally, factors like the type of transmission, navigation options, sunroofs, and the choice of wheels and tires all play a pivotal role in determining the overall value of a car.
