How the estimate works

Starting with a typical MSRP or purchase baseline you provide, we apply an age-based depreciation curve, then adjust for mileage (assuming ~13,500 miles/year is average) and condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this lower than KBB retail?+

Dealers pay wholesale (what they can resell it for at auction, minus reconditioning and profit). Retail is what a consumer would pay on a lot — usually 15–25% higher.

Is this a guaranteed offer?+

No. Real dealer offers depend on condition, demand, and your market. Treat this as a starting point.

How can I get more for my trade?+

Clean it thoroughly, gather service records, fix obvious cosmetic issues (small dents, missing badges), and get offers from 2–3 dealers plus CarMax/Carvana to benchmark.
