Transparent Weighting System
Each evaluation category is weighted based on its impact on market value. While vehicle condition carries the most weight, we consider all factors holistically to arrive at the most accurate valuation. Our appraisers document every assessment point with photos and detailed notes, providing you with complete transparency into how we determined your fleet's value.
Key Pricing Factors
Understanding what drives vehicle valuations helps you make informed decisions and maximize your fleet's return on investment.
Low Mileage for Age
Vehicles with below-average mileage relative to their age command premium pricing due to extended remaining service life.
Examples:
- 2020 vehicle with 30,000 miles vs. 60,000 average
- Well-maintained fleet with consistent usage patterns
- Highway miles vs. city stop-and-go driving
Complete Service Records
Documented maintenance history provides buyer confidence and justifies higher valuations through proven care.
Examples:
- Digital service logs from authorized dealers
- Regular oil changes and preventive maintenance
- Major component replacements with receipts
Accident History
Previous collision damage, even when properly repaired, typically reduces market value due to buyer perception.
Examples:
- Frame damage or structural repairs
- Multiple insurance claims on record
- Airbag deployment history
Cosmetic Condition
Excellent exterior and interior presentation significantly impacts first impressions and buyer willingness to pay.
Examples:
- Original paint with minimal wear
- Clean, stain-free interior upholstery
- No dents, scratches, or rust
Market Timing
Seasonal demand fluctuations and economic conditions influence pricing independent of vehicle condition.
Examples:
- Construction equipment higher in spring
- Delivery vans peak before holiday season
- Economic expansion increases demand
Mechanical Issues
Known mechanical problems or deferred maintenance reduce value based on estimated repair costs.
Examples:
- Check engine lights or diagnostic codes
- Transmission or engine concerns
- Worn brakes, tires, or suspension components
Desirable Features
Popular options and upgrades that buyers actively seek can add significant value above base models.
Examples:
- Advanced safety systems and cameras
- Upgraded technology packages
- Specialized equipment or configurations
Fleet Branding
Heavy company branding or custom paint schemes may limit buyer pool and require removal costs.
Examples:
- Full vehicle wraps or extensive decals
- Custom paint colors
- Permanent signage or modifications
