How to evaluate the value of a used car

Let's talk about the influence of various factors on the residual rate:

Brand and model have the greatest influence on the price of used cars.

Generally speaking, the order of brands from high to low is: joint venture brand, joint venture independent brand, independent brand and imported brand. The hedge ratio of big brands such as Volkswagen, Buick, Hyundai and Tian Liang is guaranteed in the market, while the hedge ratio of independent brands such as Jianghuai, BYD and Chery is low.

The influence of car models on the price of used cars comes from ownership and market reputation. Generally speaking, the more cars there are, the more valuable they are. Cars like old Jetta and Elantra are still quite valuable. On the contrary, the new car just listed needs to pass the test of the market, and the rate of preservation is average, but with the improvement of market share, possession and word of mouth, the rate of preservation will gradually increase.

In terms of color, it matches the model:?

General business cars are mainly black and silver, and family cars are also common in black and white, silver and red, so the car's preservation rate will be higher than that of cars with few colors. Individualized colors such as orange, yellow, green and light blue will have lower retention rate, but there are also counter examples, such as cars with fashionable personality like Ivy Europe, Fit and MG3. Colorful colors have little influence on the retention rate.

Configuration?

The price difference between different configurations of a car is very large. For ordinary family cars within 300,000, the difference between high and low configurations is generally around 30,000-80,000. However, when evaluating used cars, discounts are generally given only according to the price of new cars with low-middle models, and the price difference of high-middle models will be seriously damaged in this evaluation process.

Some riders will say when they sell their cars, I have skylights, leather, navigation, this and that, but these configurations can't add much value to your car. Maybe you spent a lot more money when you bought it, but it was quite uneconomical when you sold the car. Therefore, when buying a new car, please consider the residual value rate and try to consider the middle and low models.

Purchase time and mileage are also very important factors.

According to the service life and mileage, the discount will gradually decrease. If one of these two items is obviously too high, it should be evaluated according to the higher one. For example, 60,000 kilometers in two years is relatively normal, and 65,438+10,000 kilometers in two years, the price will be significantly lower than the former.
