What’s My Car Worth?

Looking to sell or trade in your vehicle? The first step you should take is to find out how much your car is worth. Why is it important to know what my car is worth or what my truck is worth? The reason is that it can help set your expectations for offers from private buyers or dealers. Moreover, knowing your vehicle’s value can help you determine whether you owe more money on your car loan than the automobile is worth.

Overall, knowing your car’s current market value helps you make more informed decisions about what to do with your vehicle. For this reason, it’s crucial that you make sure this number is as accurate as possible.

How Does It Work?

There are numerous factors that influence your automobile’s value. This includes the make and model, mileage, warranties or certifications, any prior accidents, and more. VINsmart can compile all this information in a single, affordable car report. Each report checks the car’s title history, vehicle value, safety recalls, prior damage and salvage history, title concerns, and liens and leases.

If you find yourself asking, “How much is my car worth?”, follow these simple steps:

Enter your vehicle identification number (VIN).
Purchase a comprehensive vehicle history report.
Analyze the report and assess your car’s current market value.

Understanding Valuation Guides

Valuations are based on industry-standard conditions.

Rough - A rough designation implies significant mechanical and body repairs are required to restore the car to a reasonable running condition.
Average - An average rating means the vehicle is mechanically sound but may need minor repairs or services to pass necessary inspections.
Clean - A clean designation means no mechanical defects and a clean title. The car will pass inspection standards.
