estimate worth of car

Trying to estimate the worth of your car? Start by bracketing it between what it cost new and what comparable used examples are actually selling for locally.

Match on make, model, year/series, engine, transmission, kilometres, condition, options, and location; then check recent sold prices on Tradingpost and other Aussie marketplaces, not just dreamy asking prices.

Service history, accident/repair records, tyres, and rego/RWC can nudge value thousands, while unpopular colours or thirsty engines do the opposite.

Get a pre-sale inspection or valuation, take clear photos, and be realistic—buyers can smell fantasy pricing from a suburb away.
