The used car market is an ever-changing environment that is greatly affected by the state of the economy. If you happen to be using a car price guide that is outdated, you may be shocked when you finally receive the current estimate value of your car.
Luckily, there is a better way to determine car worth as long as you approach the right team for help. At West Side Auto Wholesale, we have an easy-to-use car valuation tool that will help you get the right price range for your used car in no time at all! Visit our website and take advantage of our large pool of potential buyers!
What Is a Car Valuation?
The price you get for your used car today on the open market is nowhere near what you paid for the new car a few years ago. This is because even a car in high demand is still regarded as a depreciating asset.
Car valuation systems use a variety of key factors regarding your car's condition to give you an instant offer for your used vehicle. You can choose to either refer to the latest car price guide or use an independent valuer to find out the resale value of your car in Australia.
How Much Is Your Car Worth? Use the Online Tools at Westside Auto
At Westside Auto, you can get the market value of your car faster than ever before! We cater to all makes and models of used cars in Australia. To use our free car valuation calculator simply follow these five steps and get your estimate:
Step 1: What Used Car Are You Selling?
Before we give you a price estimate for your vehicle, we need to know what car you want to sell. Here, we require the following information as the first step:
- Trade-in registration number
- Location or state of issue
- The car's mileage
- Condition (from poor to excellent)
Don't Know The Reg Number? Try This way
If for any reason you do not have the registration number, do not worry. Just take the alternative route and provide us with the following:
- Make
- Model
- Year
- Variant (depends on the model selected)
Step 2: Give Essential Details
The market value of your used car relies very heavily on how well you have been taking care of the car over the years and whether or not you own it outright. This is why the second step in determining the market price range of the vehicle you are selling requires the following:
Service History
If you have been religiously taking your car for a full service since you purchased it, now is the time to reap the benefits. A full-service history will work in your favour when the dealer tries to sell your car.
Under Finance?
Are you still making payments towards the purchase of your vehicle? This will need to be factored into the price estimate because the debt will be inherited by the potential buyers. Although it is easier to sell a car that is fully paid for, good prices are still possible for cars that are still owned by the bank or other financial institution.
Accident Damage Report
Of all the factors that determine the market value of your car, nothing puts a bigger dent in the confidence of buyers than a poor accident report. Even if your insurance managed to pay for an awesome repair job, you will have to provide all the details of the accident damage before you sell your car.
Car Features
Be sure to list all the information about your car that may impact the estimated value of your car, such as:
- Leather seats
- Multi-media systems
- Reversing cameras
- Off-road capability
- Special features of the model
Step 3: Upload Some Pictures
Due to the popularity of online selling, some great pictures will go a long way in attracting potential buyers. While it is important to show your vehicle in the best light possible, your pictures should also highlight any dents or damages that sellers are required to disclose about their vehicles.
Step 4: Personal Details
Here, you will need to provide your details so that the dealer can contact you for more information about the vehicle, explain the price estimate, provide tips, or alert you of a potential sale. All you need to provide are your basic details, such as name, location, phone number, and email address.
Step 5: Receive Your Valuation!
Once you complete the free car valuation, submit your information and you will receive an instant offer according to cars of the same make and model. If you agree to sell at that price range, the dealer will open an account for you and begin the process.
Not Selling Your Car Privately? Use the Car Valuation Tool for Business
If you are selling off a fleet of cars owned by your business, the free price valuation tool works a bit differently. You will need only three steps to determine the value of your vehicles, and these are:
Step 1
Provide personal details such as name, phone number, email address and the reason for putting your fleet of vehicles up for sale
Step 2
Give the name and type of your business as well as the number and type of vehicles you are selling
Step 3
Submit the information and set up an appointment for one of our team members to come over and physically inspect the vehicles
