Where car values come from?

There are many factors that influence car values, such as; year, make, model, trim level, mileage, condition, usage, supply, demand, market, and location. KBB (Kelley Blue Book), and the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) both provide a rough estimate of what a vehicle might be worth. More accurate values are usually found from a dealership. Car dealerships are familiar with the market in the local area as well as having access to nearby auction prices. The saying goes, "what something is worth depends on how much someone else is willing to pay for it". 

Year, Make, Model and Trim

Typically, the newer the vehicle the more it's worth. When it comes to the make and model of vehicles, it's also true some makes are worth more than others. A vehicle's price from factory, reputation, reliability, and demand are factors used in determining how it holds value or depreciates. Higher trim levels typically hold value better than a base model. 

Mileage

A vehicle with low average mileage will be worth slightly more than a vehicle with average mileage. Average mileage is considered between 10-15,000 miles per year. A vehicle with more than average mileage per year is typically worth less. This type of vehicle could depend on how much mileage value adjustment there is.

Condition

When a car value is given, there are usually three options of prices given depending on the condition of the vehicle; Poor, Fair, and Clean. Of course, everybody want's to get the Clean price which is the highest value. For a vehicle to be considered Clean, it must reflect showroom condition, which means little sign of use or wear, no scratched, dents, or dings and like-new tires, etc. Most cars, trucks, and SUV are used, that's why we have them, so it's most common for a vehicle to value at an Average or Fair price. When figuring out what a vehicle is worth, consider the cost of parts it may need (including fitting), detailing, or servicing required to get the vehicle into great condition. 

Supply, Demand, and Location

When you're researching to 'value my car' it's important to consider the supply, demand, and location. It's not likely there would be a lot of demand for a RWD car in winter or an electric car in the middle of nowhere. On the other hand, you may have a vehicle that's highly sought after and sells quickly due to low demand in your location.
