How Do We Evaluate a Vehicle?
The reliability of your future car depends on a lot of things, but we defined the most crucial factors that affect a vehicle’s condition to save you time and help you make the most informed buying decision.
Title Brand
A vehicle’s title brand, a permanent designation on a vehicle's title, indicates that the vehicle has been written off due to some serious damage such as collision, fire, or flood damage, or has been sold for scrap. Title brand records such as Salvage, Junk, Rebuilt and many others are crucial in the vehicle’s valuation.
Vehicle’s age
The older is a vehicle the more trouble it may cause to its new owner. Typically, even if a vehicle does not have any severe damage, it eventually needs some servicing or even repairs.
Last odometer reading
The odometer reading is a key indicator of the condition and value of a vehicle. The more miles a vehicle has according to either the NMVTIS or Auction records, the lower its rate, and, respectively, our score.
Liens
Our system alerts you if the vehicle has ever had a lien and is unsafe to purchase to protect from possible issues.
Past auctions
Our system checks whether the vehicle has been ever sold through salvage auctions.
Retail Value to MSRP Index
We correlate the vehicle’s retail value generated with MSRP of a brand new model to ascertain the comparative advantage of the purchase.
Primary damage
We have data about primary damage of the vehicle, obtained directly from auctions, that help us give a fair and quick assessment of its current condition.
Secondary damage
To provide you with a better assessment, along with primary damage, we take secondary damage into account as well.
Repair Cost Index
We correlate the vehicle’s repair costs to its current value to determine the percentage of additional expenses to the vehicle’s price.
Lost-in Value
We relate the actual cash value of a vehicle to its MSRP to assess how much the vehicle lost in value compared to a brand-new model.
Seller Info
We analyze data obtained directly from the seller to provide a clear picture of the vehicle’s current condition and valuation.
