Wondering Your VEHICLE’S Value?

Many may question the need to invest in a service when free online tools or self-research are readily available. However, seeking a professional opinion is essential. Understanding the value of your car can provide numerous advantages, including securing the best possible price when buying or selling a vehicle, facilitating insurance claims based on market value, and accurately assessing your asset's total worth when applying for loans.

Should you opt to conduct your research through platforms like Gumtree or CarSales, you'll soon discover the abundance of vehicles similar to yours on the market. However, it's vital to recognize that each vehicle possesses unique characteristics that cater to individual buyer preferences. These platforms also fail to consider factors like price negotiations, location-based pricing variations, or non-standard features.

At Brisbane Mobile Vehicle Valuations, our professional car valuation service goes beyond what online tools offer. We take into account numerous additional factors that may elude self-assessment, including:

• Age: Vehicle values typically depreciate by approximately 14% during the first three years. However, newer models often retain more value, with exceptions seen in vintage and classic cars.

• Make & Model: Popular makes and models tend to maintain their value over time and sell faster than less common brands.

• Transmission: While automatic transmissions generally command a slightly higher value when new, this may also apply to used cars, particularly for sports cars, classics, and vintage models.

• Mileage: Lower mileage compared to a similar vehicle can increase value due to reduced wear and tear.

• Condition: Proof of regular maintenance and servicing reflects a well-maintained car, increasing its market value. A vehicle's interior and exterior condition can also influence pricing, with factors like smoking and interior/exterior scratches potentially reducing its value.

• Aftermarket Items: The addition of aftermarket features such as sound systems, security enhancements, bull bars, snorkels, chrome wheels, and advanced safety technology can elevate a vehicle's value.

• Luxury Features: Non-standard features like heated seats, automatic headlights, and inbuilt GPS can enhance the selling price of your vehicle.

• Colour: While standard colours typically sell faster and are in higher demand, non-traditional colours, especially for sports cars, can sometimes command a higher price.

• History: Buyers generally favour vehicles with a clear history, meaning no history of write-offs or significant panel repairs.
