Trade-In Value Estimator

This trade-in value estimator gives a ballpark figure for what a vehicle might be worth, based on its original price, age, mileage and condition, using a standard depreciation-curve estimate. It's a starting point before you visit a dealer or get a real appraisal, not a guaranteed offer.

₹10,00,000

What the vehicle cost new (or what you paid, if bought used).

4 yrs

Years since the vehicle was new.

12,000

12,000 km/year is the typical assumption used for depreciation estimates.

Be realistic — dealers will assess this closely.

₹4,91,300

A ballpark estimate — always get an actual valuation before negotiating.

Estimated private-sale value₹5,64,995

Private sales typically fetch more than a dealer trade-in, but take more time and effort.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the private-sale estimate higher than the trade-in estimate?+

Dealers factor in reconditioning costs, their own profit margin, and the convenience of an instant transaction — private buyers pay closer to true market value since they're not absorbing those costs, but a private sale takes more time and effort to arrange.

Does accident history affect this estimate?+

No — this estimator doesn't know your vehicle's specific history. A clean accident-free history typically supports a higher real value than this estimate; a history of accidents typically lowers it below this estimate.

How accurate is the 20%-then-15%-per-year depreciation assumption?+

It's a reasonable industry-typical average, but actual depreciation varies significantly by make and model — some vehicles hold value much better (or worse) than this generic curve assumes. Check a model-specific valuation tool for a tighter estimate.
