One of the most important parameters when buying and selling used vehicles is their price. Whether the buy-in price (if you are a professional who needs to know the value at purchase) or the real selling price on the market (the price the car can actually be sold for, i.e. its true value).
At veescan.com we focus on analysing the used-vehicle market across Europe. We have a detailed overview of it: 15 markets and over 50 metrics. And the price of a vehicle is one of them.
Our online calculation (determining the value of a used vehicle) lets you find out the market value of a used car instantly. We don't guess the real selling price — we determine it precisely.
What we can do
We can not only determine the price of specific vehicles, but also monitor them automatically and compare them with one another across selected markets. And all of this in the form of a clear graphical display — by individual country, with estimates of both the current and future value of used vehicles. In short, a faster and more precise process. If needed, client-side implementation via API is no problem either.
Price map and price comparison
In one place you can clearly see where a given car sits with its price — based on real advertised and actual selling prices.
What affects the final price of a used vehicle?
The real value or selling price of a used vehicle is the sum of several factors. For example:
The make and model of the vehicle — some hold their residual value better than others.
The number of kilometres driven — sorry, declared — still the single most important figure for a large share of buyers.
Country of origin — cars from the local market hold their price better in that country, as well as their liquidity at sale.
Service history — even in the technological era of the 21st century, not all makes have a traceable service history across countries.
The actual condition of the vehicle — one of the few things you can verify online only with great difficulty.
