Professional car valuation

To determine the value of your car, we have to check each car individually for its functions. We can not make general statements. We do not recommend selling a car without an appraisal. It is usually advisable to have the value of a vehicle determined by an expert. Even a car valuation is almost impossible to perform, a layman simply lacks the expertise for a correct valuation. There are two options available for a car valuation:

It is essential to have a professional appraisal done before any car change. It does not matter whether the car purchase is carried out privately or by a dealer. It is interesting in how far these two types of valuation differ from each other.

The online car valuation

you can calculate the value of your car with a free online valuation calculator. The online valuation is offered by more and more providers. Here’s how it works: you enter all the vehicle data, usually the make, model, first registration and mileage, as well as transmission and body type. The data is compared with the market data of similar vehicles. the database provides comprehensive and up-to-date market data. A comparative value is obtained. This serves as an average value. You get the value in just one moment. there are service providers who charge for the online evaluation. Auto ankauf franken offers this service free of charge and at any time.

The online valuation has the advantage that it is possible for every car owner to calculate the value of his car within a few minutes from the comfort of his home. You get a first indication of the value of your car. It is important to know that this value is an average value and therefore it is not an exact indication of value. In order to subject the passenger car to an accurate valuation, it requires a precise vehicle assessment by an expert. The expert valuation is 100% more accurate than a valuation from a price catalog. This is outdated after a very short time, because the market is constantly changing.

The expert takes into account all the functions and features of your car. Like for example the condition of the body or the interior. It is different with a valuation with an online calculator. Technical defects or special equipment as well as damage to the car, which should be included as decisive factors in a value determination, cannot be included afterwards.

The car valuation on the spot

After an apparent inspection, the value of the car can be accurately estimated by an expert and you will receive a correct value of your car. A professional can estimate differently than a layman how much it will cost to remove the defects and how much these will be included in the value of the car. Furthermore, special equipment on the car can be included in the evaluation, taking the current time value into account. Z.B. If sports rims or a sound system installed 3 years ago lose value within a very short time and no longer have the value as new.

2. Which car is worth?

After the purchase of a new car, it loses value as soon as the keys are handed over. However, it is not possible to foresee how specifically the depreciation of the car will develop. What can be said for sure is that for new cars, after only one year, a loss of value of 24% has to be deducted from the selling price. All further years are claimed with a loss in value of five to six percent. On average, a car in germany is 16 years old. What will the value of the car be after three, five or even 10 years?? Of course, you can not give a standard value here. Even minor accidents can lead to a significant loss in the value of the car. The brand image of the manufacturer can also deteriorate and the value of the car may be reduced.

Many factors play a role in determining the value of a used car. There is a way to calculate what a new car bought in the spring of 2015 will still be worth after four years (spring 2019) according to a forecast.

-highest value retention: the percentage loss in value from the original value of what a vehicle still retains after four years.
-lowest depreciation: which models have lost the least of their original value after four years? (absolute value loss)

3. What is my car worth after three years??

We can not give a general answer to this question. Many factors are taken into account in the valuation process. Vehicle-typical characteristics must be examined, as well as the current market value and the image of the manufacturer. The season is also a factor in the valuation.

What is my car worth after three years?? The most important thing to know about this question is the condition of the car. Are there any defects? For example, small scratches or is the paint in perfect condition?? Are the seats torn? What about the fittings? Do these have rough signs of use? Is the car a non-smoking car or was smoking in the car regularly?? Have animals been transported whose hair can be found on the seats. These factors are taken into account when determining the value of the car. Of course, functionality is also a decisive point. What good is a well-maintained checkbook if the brakes don’t work?.

guarantees about your used car and their influence on the car value

Car manufacturers are of the same opinion, so when you buy a new car, you often get guarantees that apply to many defects, saving the car owner a lot of costs in the first few years. the german carmaker audi offers a two-year warranty, which can be extended for a fee. If you want to claim a warranty for your car, you are bound to keep the service appointments. However, he has to pay for the costs of the service appointments himself. in germany, the car dealer is legally obligated to compensate for defects for at least one year after the sale of a vehicle.

In most cases, an extended warranty is possible. This must be made but on its own request and their costs must be borne by the customer. However, the best warranty and service protection do not protect against defects in the car. Because these can arise after a 3 year wear and tear very well. With high mileage, worn brake pads or worn tire treads can be a reason for a visit to the workshop. One thing is certain, whether it’s a new or used car any car can get a defect. However, this does not mean that the car is not for sale. Defects can already be caused by ordinary wear and tear. So it is quite possible to sell a car with minor or major defects. Auto ankauf franken is happy to support you in this regard.

After five years it often becomes crucial for a car. Why this is so? From a huge off-road vehicle to a small passenger car. In the fifth year the car has to be inspected for the second time. Current figures show that this is often a difficult limit for cars. On average, the age of a used car traded in germany is between five and six years. Reasons are:

After five (or six) years, the car is more often defective. These are not only due to wear and tear. If it is a question of wear parts, these can often be replaced cheaply. After the five years of a car’s life, you may have to pay more for damage here and there. Of course, every car has different damages. Basically, you can say that there are some damages that occur more often after five years: such as rust spots on load-bearing parts.

Defects on the front scar occur more frequently. This is a machine component and is located on the shaft or axle. This is often equipped with sensors. Furthermore, it can come to problems with the track bar, this is especially with cars when the road conditions are bad. This defect leads to the fact that the steering has too much freedom of movement. Consequence: the car can no longer be steered correctly. It is important to know that if you delay the repair of the tie rod, other parts of the chassis may be damaged. This leads to significantly higher costs.

Basically, almost all defects from five years can be said that if they are not repaired immediately, it will be expensive. Since consequential damages are imminent and these cause much higher costs. After the five years it is important to change the battery, brake pads and fluids. Not to forget parts such as tires, timing belts, air filters and cabin filters that need to be replaced. Added together, this can quickly become expensive. Also, statistics show that in the first five years there are often accidents, so the value of the car is further reduced.

Once the first major damage, the general loss of value or even the replacement of many small parts comes up, then the whole thing already adds up to such an extent that you consider whether you should rather sell the car. In order to invest the proceeds of sale in a new car, it is best to ask auto ankauf franken "what is my car still worth after five years". We answer your questions free of charge.

As with many other products, the price of the child seat also varies . From about. from 50 euros to a few hundred euros, there are various models to buy. The price depends on many factors. The decisive factor, however, is which quality& equipment, as well as which manufacturer and seating group is preferred. Many parents, unfortunately, tend to look too much at the price. But you should never save at the wrong end.

New parents in particular are often faced with the problem "which child seat is best for your child". It is therefore all the more important to know what to look for when buying or what to look out for in general.

Which mistakes you should avoid and what really matters, you will learn in the following article.

The child car seat – from small to large

Especially with the purchase of a new child seat, the issue of safety plays a major role. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the selected child seat is standard ECE 44-03 or. 44-04 + is tuv tested. Here you should have a special eye. Good child seats are already available from about. 100 euro. Of course there are also cheaper models available. However, these often do not offer the same safety standards and are therefore not always recommended (model dependent). Here you must and should always consider what requirements are placed on the seat.

If, for example, a child seat with ISOFIX system is needed, or it should be particularly light, you usually do not come under the 100 euro mark. However, it can be a small help to find out about a child car seat test. The ADAC look at z.B. Each year looks more closely at some models and assigns its own test scores. This is how you get your first insights into whether the seat is to be recommended or not.

What requirements should a child seat meet??

To ensure that your child is transported safely and securely, it is particularly important to make sure that the child seat fulfills the most important safety aspects.

Important safety aspects:

AMake sure that you comply with the EU standards (standard ECE 44-03 resp. 44-04)
Amake sure that you have the right child seat group
Wif possible, do without used child seats

The STANDARDS ECE 44-03 / 44-04

In germany and in the EU, no more child seats are being sold without the required NORM ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-03. 44-04 approved. Nevertheless, there are still models, especially older ones (before 2008) that are sitting in a cellar somewhere, just waiting to be used. This please NOT use more.

Do not skimp on the child seat

you can certainly save money when buying an infant car seat. Current offers and discounts can always be worthwhile. What you should not do is to focus only on "cheap" products. Similarly, you should not be tempted to buy used models at a bargain price. Unfortunately, you never know how long the seat has been in use and whether it may be. damage caused by z.B. has had a "car accident.

Conclusion – what does a good child seat cost??

Child seats do not always have to be expensive. If the most important aspects are fulfilled and the right child seat group is found, one is usually faced with a very large selection. From expensive to cheap is almost always something. With a little luck the desired even model is just in the offer.

Every car loses value in the course of months and years. Especially if a sale of the used car is planned, an accurate valuation for the car is important. Many vehicle owners are surprised at how high the loss in value is and how little they receive for their used vehicle. In the following, we explain to you how the vehicle value can be determined and what advantages a vehicle subscription from cluno offers as an alternative.

How is the depreciation of a car calculated??

Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all, golden rule that can be used to carry out a vehicle valuation for any vehicle of any age. The factors that determine the actual value of a vehicle are too numerous to be taken into account. Nevertheless, a number of guidelines and rules have been established throughout the industry that can be used to calculate the depreciation of a car.

The gradual wear and tear of all technical components that play a role in the functionality of the vehicle is essential for the loss of value. The car valuation should enable a relation between the residual value of the vehicle and the cost of necessary repairs. The aim is to calculate when major repairs are no longer worthwhile and a so-called economic total loss is present.

The actual calculation is based on the new value of the car. A fixed percentage is deducted from this value each year, which varies depending on the manufacturer, year of manufacture and age of the vehicle. So that not every car dealer or owner has to determine the vehicle value himself, the loss in value of all important models is summarized in lists. The most important industry standard is the schwacke list.

Which cars suffer the greatest loss in value?

High-quality premium vehicles are particularly affected by a loss in value in the first few years. This applies not only to the absolute value of the vehicle, which can be tens of thousands of euros below the purchase price after just one or two years. Vehicles in the top category also lose the most value in relation to small or compact cars.

According to the schwacke list of 2020, models such as the mercedes SL 500, the BMW 745 d or the lexus LS 430 were particularly affected by an absolute loss in value. Other vehicles from mercedes, jaguar, audi and porsche were found in the top 10. According to the 2020 schwacke list, the jaguar XJ 6 was the most valuable vehicle in terms of percentage loss in value.3.0, the alfa 166 3.2 and the jaguar X-type 3.0 V6 most affected by relative value loss.

It should be noted that all of these values are estimates of the loss in value. The actual loss in value of an individual vehicle depends on many individual factors, which in case of doubt should be considered separately by an appraiser or expert. Regardless of make and model, the equipment of the vehicle plays a role. Additional extras result in a higher vehicle value.

When does a car lose the most value?

Generally, new vehicles lose a lot of their value in the first year after purchase. Many vehicles lose one-sixth to one-fifth of their value in the first year of ownership. Over the years the percentage loss decreases. After three years, a vehicle is worth about half its new price; after that, it loses a good five percent with each additional year.

The most frequent reason for a spontaneous loss of value is an accident. Depending on the severity of the accident, the resale value of the vehicle can be drastically reduced. In the worst case, the vehicle is a total loss, so that the car valuation only shows its scrap value. With each passing year, it is therefore necessary to consider more carefully whether it is worth repairing a vehicle that has been involved in an accident or whether it would be better to invest directly in a new car.

Which factors cause the loss of value?

Various factors play a role in the individual vehicle valuation. The following is an overview of the most important factors that need to be taken into account when determining the value of a car:

Year of manufactureThe year of construction and thus the age of the vehicle is probably the most important factor in vehicle valuation. The older a vehicle is, the more likely it is to have wear and tear on all components.
MileageJust because a vehicle has aged, it does not mean that it has been driven frequently. Therefore the mileage is the second important valuation factor. The more often a vehicle has been used, the more wear and tear and a reduction in value can be assumed.
Manufacturer& model seriesWhile year of manufacture or mileage determine the degree of depreciation, the manufacturer and model series are the starting point for the calculation. As shown in the estimates above, a greater loss of value in the first few years can be assumed if the vehicle is a high-quality brand from a well-known series such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Jaguar or Alfa Romeo.
Equipment: a basic equipment may have been chosen for a high quality make. In the same way, in a standard vehicle of the middle class, many extras can find their place. The more attractive the extras in a vehicle, the higher the resale value and the lower the loss in value.
PaintingA small factor, which should not be underestimated, is the paintwork. Exotic colors make it difficult to get the vehicle to a new buyer. This is why professional dealers set a low value, because they have to take into account economically a new paint job.

Can the loss of value also be slowed down??

Of course, as a vehicle owner, you are not helplessly exposed to the loss of value of your vehicle. Some measures help to delay the gradual loss of value according to the schwacke list. It is true that a car cannot be prevented from aging and losing value as a result. However, you can take countermeasures and increase the resale value of the vehicle. Possibilities include:

Maintenance intervalsA good technical condition of the car is the most important basis to achieve an attractive price in the valuation of the car. You should therefore make a point of adhering to the manufacturer’s inspection intervals. A potential buyer will recognize that you have taken care of the vehicle and will take this into account in the vehicle valuation.
Parts replacement and equipmentAs mentioned above, extras in the equipment are an important factor to enhance the value of the car. This does not have to be a strong equipment line as a new car. In the same way, you can add some extras to your vehicle later on and thus achieve an upgrade. The spectrum ranges from technical tuning to the integration of electronic extras.
Vehicle maintenance: a car is more than the interaction of technical components. In order to increase the chances of resale, the vehicle must also be visually in good condition. From paint care to an attractive interior, the factors with which you, as the owner, can actively contribute to maintaining the value of the vehicle are many and varied.

Why do cars lose value so quickly?

Calculating the depreciation of a car quickly leads to unexpectedly low values. This is due to two factors. On the one hand, the real, technical loss of value is given. Anyone who is commercially active and is familiar with the wear and tear of machinery and equipment will be familiar with comparable values in terms of loss of value.

In the case of a motor vehicle, however, the vehicle market also plays a role. Determining the residual value of a vehicle is, after all, most often done in order to arrive at a resale value as a private or commercial dealer. The demand of the market decides how much potential buyers still want to spend for a used car.

Since commercial dealers still want to make a profit on the sale, the loss in value is relatively high, especially in the first few years. For many buyers, it makes a big difference whether you choose a one- or a three-year-old car. With increasing age, this factor moves more into the background. It is therefore all the more important to take care of the maintenance and care of your own car in good time.

i want to sell my car, how do i calculate the resale value?

Anyone who wants to determine the value of a vehicle themselves should take a look at the current schwacke list. This is publicly accessible and, after a brief search, shows what your vehicle is currently worth. The list is also used by commercial dealers to determine the resale value of a car.

use the value of the schwacke list as a basis for arriving at the individual value. Thus, the estimated values are based on an annual mileage of 15.000 kilometers. If you have driven significantly less, your car will be worth more. Recently added extras also increase the value. Online you can find calculation tools that make a more precise estimate possible.

When is it really worth buying a car??

Due to the high loss of value, it is seldom worthwhile, especially in the first few years, to make a conscious decision to buy a vehicle. This mainly makes sense if you are commercially dependent on a top vehicle with individual equipment. Many drivers have a clear idea of exactly what they want from their vehicle. If a few thousand euros in equipment and depreciation are not an issue, the investment can be made. For the private vehicle owner this often looks different.
