Vehicle Value

Vehicle Value

A vehicle's value is set by the market, not the sticker. These are the factors that buyers, sellers, and appraisers commonly weigh.

Mileage impact

Higher mileage generally lowers value because it signals more wear on major components. Mileage well above the typical annual average for a vehicle's age often carries a larger effect.

Condition and history

Interior and exterior condition, documented maintenance, and accident history all influence value. Clear records help buyers trust a vehicle's condition.

Market demand

Fuel prices, seasonal trends, and shifting tastes change demand for certain body styles. A vehicle in high demand can hold value better than its age suggests.
