From a luxury item, a car in our country has long turned into a means of transportation, and for some - into a means of making money. Cars are often changed for new ones or sold, left as a pledge or inheritance. Therefore, the car owner simply needs to know the real market value of the vehicle, for which it can actually be sold at the present time. Relatives who are going to equally divide the inheritance received are another category of people who need to know the cost of a car.

Knowing the approximate cost of the car that the buyer is going to buy is a sure way to insure yourself against deception by the seller. Interested to know the cost of their own vehicle fleet and owners transport companies... All of the above categories of citizens are unlikely to be able to assign an adequate cost for their cars on their own, and the solution may be to contact a professional appraiser, or you can assess the cost of a car on Yandex.Auto.

Yandex as a means of self-assessment of the cost of a car

Today, appraisal of a car on the Yandex online calculator has become a quite adequate alternative to appraisers. Many car owners or buyers who have already used online service estimates, quite appreciated its benefits:


Attention! To improve the accuracy of the online assessment, it is required to enter the most correct data, including the operating conditions and the set of available options, otherwise the data obtained may be inaccurate.

It's no secret that literally every day of vehicle operation reduces its market value. This happens for many reasons. The main ones include the natural wear and tear of components and mechanisms, as well as the obsolescence of the car in moral terms, since the lineup the automakers update quickly enough.

In addition, the car can get into a road traffic accident, which inevitably entails "marks" on the body - this sharply reduces its market value, and even after a quality repair it will not be possible to increase it. Of course, when planning to sell a car, any owner will try to set the maximum price for it, but as practice shows, such obviously “overpriced cars, if they are sold, are extremely rare.

The right price is a quick sale

Estimation of the cost of the car on Yandex.Auto calculator is based on following parameters vehicle:


Despite the abundance of parameters, an online car assessment on Yandex is carried out almost instantly. When a person evaluates a car, this cannot be achieved. When working with a professional appraiser, you will have to spend a lot a large number of time for various paper approvals and agreements. In addition, you have to prepare a lot of documents, which is not always convenient and possible.

Car evaluation online and free on Yandex, by default, is configured for the region from which the user goes online. This significantly increases the accuracy of the assessment, because in different regions of the country the scale of values \u200b\u200bis quite different, respectively, the cost of one and the same car will differ. In the same case, if the car owner wants to know the cost of his own vehicle on average in the country, it will be possible to simply uncheck the corresponding box.

Despite all the convenience of online vehicle assessment on Yandex.Auto, this service can not always be used. The online rating is important to the driver, but not legally binding. Therefore, there are many situations when the help of a "live" expert is still needed. These include:


In all of the above cases, the help of an appraiser will be required. The thing is that the expert, after the assessment, draws up an appropriate act, which is signed by the responsible person or the interested parties of the dispute. After signing, this act becomes a paper that has legal force, the legality of which is recognized by a court of any instance.

Pitfalls of online auto appraisal - do they exist

At first glance, appraisal of a car on Yandex.Auto is an ideal service. But it's fair to say that there is one small drawback. The fact is that the service focuses on the cost of cars of a similar class, which are advertised here. Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of them, they are all laid out on the site by the users themselves, i.e. sellers.

Unfortunately, not every car owner wants to sell a car for its real market value, and deliberately inflates the price. The other part is overvalued in order to bargain with the buyer. Therefore, taking the average price of all cars as a basis, the service can give out a little more high cost... Although for someone this is not a disadvantage at all - the same bargaining will put everything in its place.

Nevertheless, the estimation of the cost of a car on Yandex.Auto is by far the most popular service. Therefore, despite the possible small error, its results are most accurate. This service is convenient not only for car owners who want to evaluate or sell a car, but also for buyers. In addition to the fact that, according to the specified search parameters, they will instantly determine the cost of the car they want to buy, the service will immediately give out several charts with information about the price change and the number of offers for this moment.

Immediately below the graphs, there are links that can be used to go to the page with ads of the exact brand whose parameters were entered by the user. At the same time, the sale value of the car is already indicated in each ad. Therefore, "blindly" call dozens of users, in search of the most favorable price not necessary. How to work with this service can be seen in the video:

Good day, dear motorists.

I am back in touch and today I will tell you about how to evaluate a car for sale using various methods available to ordinary people.

Many motorists, before selling their transport, attach very little importance to its assessment, often taking their price tag almost from the ceiling. And in vain! After all, because of this, you can make a big mistake, and lose a significant amount of money, or you will sell a car for a whole year.

Do you want to know the principles of correct assessment? Then read on.

Common features

The most widely used assessment method today is based on comparison. More precisely, on a comparative analysis of any relevant data on car prices. What data is it?

Well, these are the same regional newspapers and magazines for auto sales and sites where you can add such ads.

With their help, the main price corridor (i.e. the price from and to) can be determined quite quickly and quite confidently. But a more accurate estimate, with the conclusion of the final market price of the car, will not differ in particular thoroughness, even if you try to use some Western catalogs - our domestic market itself has great differences in prices from Western ones. Well domestic auto industry unique for the CIS countries.

But there is also a good side of the coin! Well, what about without our "every cloud has a silver lining"? Without access to accurate stock quotes for the automotive "secondary", our auto distributor has a fairly wide price maneuver, especially if the sale is carried out at the interregional level.

Incidentally, this is one of the main mechanisms for earning dealers. A feature of this method is that you are forced to navigate the prices of other sellers, who, in turn, can be guided by you.

As a result, with a rough application of this comparative analysis, it is not the actual price corridor that is more or less accurately determined, but the existing supply boundaries. Well, these are, of course, different things. After all, there are at least two significant factors "clouding" the truth:

  • The seller is almost always inclined to sincerely overestimate his car and often makes a bargaining premium to the already overpriced measure;
  • Outbid, on the other hand, through groups of fake ads, carry out "raider actions" to lower prices on a particular resource - I talked about this in the article about.

What to consider in the assessment

Before making an assessment, you should naturally have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe condition of your vehicle. It may seem self-evident to some, but many do have a vague understanding of both the problems and the proper form of the machine.

And if it is clear with hidden faults, then with the untidiness of the interior it is not quite - such an "interior" is often presented to the buyer as something due and does not affect the price. But this is not the case. In fact, the following are the main factors that influence the price:

  • Brand, model;
  • General appearance;
  • General view of the salon;
  • The technical condition of the main components and assemblies;
  • Availability and technical condition additional components and assemblies;
  • Terms of Use;
  • Problem / no problem;
  • Mileage;
  • Year of issue.

But this is in general terms, which is not enough. The seller must also know well the condition of the main segments of the car:

  • The outer surface of the body;
  • Inner surface of the body;
  • Salon;
  • Transmission;
  • Engine;
  • Suspension;
  • Electrical system.

Of course, some little things can be successfully hidden, but if, for example, your car was seriously damaged, then this is taken into account (negatively, of course), since it is more expensive to conceal such things - the buyer, when he discovers a catch, will drop the price according to his own understanding ...

Important! Do not neglect pre-sale preparation (pre-sale preparation of a car, what is it), because in some cases even just a good marafet with polishing, waxing and blackening confidently increases the price of a car by 10-20%!

Separately, it should be said about, because if you have to not just, but really pay tax, then it is worth taking this amount into account in a rough approximate calculation.

Price and what depends on it

Of course, the main thing for a car seller is the money that can be raised for it. Naturally, the more the better. But getting a benefit, or even just a market value, is directly related to other significant points, which can also mean a lot to you.

What does this mean? This is something like this:

  • The number of potentially interested buyers;
  • Requirements and claims against the seller regarding the condition of the vehicle;
  • The framework within which bargaining is possible;
  • Personal time spent on the entire sales process.

After all, not all car dealers make it their primary goal to get the "navar". Some may well be satisfied with even the lower limits of the average market price, in exchange for the speed of sale or the minimum cost of nerve cells in the process of inspection and bargaining.

Assessment method

So, you have decided in advance on the condition of your car, how you intend to sell it: personally, through intermediaries or otherwise.

Here is a rough diagram of your next steps:

  • Buy periodicals with auto sales ads; "Behind the Wheel", "Autoworld", "From Hands to Hands", local publications and you analyze, writing down the prices of options with the parameters of cars similar to yours;
  • Analyze car sales sites in the same way. For example: Avito.Ru, Auto.Ru, Cars.Ru, etc. Here you just fill in the fields with the necessary data and the filter will give you a list of options similar to yours;
  • By combining the data of online searches and analyzed periodicals, you will receive a rough price corridor (for example, from 430 to 670 thousand rubles);
  • From the price band, you need to calculate the average value by summing up the two extreme numbers and dividing them by two (430 + 670/2 \u003d 550 thousand rubles);
  • To the resulting average figure, you can add 10 percent or subtract from it, depending on the urgency of the sale (605 and 495 thousand);
  • If you sell to the maximum (670 thousand), then there will be a chance for a deal, but the wait can be very long. In this case, it is recommended to monthly reduce the price by 3-5%, depending on the results of your communication on calls and on sites to the optimal limit.

Additional vehicle assessment methods

Above, I described the so-called. popular assessment, which is used more often than other methods. Now let's look at other options for assessing:

  • Evaluation using formulas;
  • Assessment by direct examination by an expert.

Estimation with formulas

Using calculation formulas and algorithms, the market value of cars is determined:

  • Official car dealers;
  • Insurance companies;
  • Credit organizations;
  • Online resources.

Official car dealers

At the car dealer to which your brand belongs, you can inquire about the conditions for exchanging used cars for new ones (with a surcharge). In this case, the manager, unaware of your true intentions: cool :, himself will offer you appraisal services.

According to the wide experience of the masses, after such an assessment, in order to get an approximate exact price, you need to add 20% to the estimated amount from the car dealer.

Insurance companies

In this case, you simply apply for an insurance policy, and to obtain it, you always need the most accurate market assessment of the vehicle (TC).

You can contact some commercial insurer and ask them to calculate the cost of the policy for you. And usually this cost is about 9-11% of the market price of your car, determined by insurance specialists.

It should be borne in mind that OSAGO will not work, since when calculating it, the personal parameters of the driver are used, I'm talking about KBM (bonus-malus coefficient). As a result, the cost of the policy depends on how many times you have had an accident, how long you have been driving, and so on.

Personally, I know for sure that this is how you can evaluate a car according to CASCO - they do not use KBM and their policy costs 9-10% of the appraisal report on the market value of the car. Therefore, adding to this the missing amount up to 100%, you will receive the desired market price, calculated professionally and completely for nothing, which is a special plus.

Credit organizations

In credit institutions (meaning serious banks and large credit consumer cooperatives), specialists are no worse than those of insurers, but they are less profiled because they deal with different collateral, and not just cars. Therefore, the estimate here may be less accurate.

You come to a bank, credit union or even an automobile pawnshop and ask to calculate the conditions for your car. In this case, 10-15% is usually added to the result.

Online resources

Sites where you can conduct a paid or free car assessment have been mushrooming lately. Here is some of them:

Their valuation services are ordinary online calculators, in the fields of which you need to enter the specified vehicle data. Although these data on different resources have a common structure, they still differ, which indicates the use of different calculation algorithms.

Therefore, it is better to get the result from several online calculators and compare them for the adequacy of the result.

Assessment by direct examination

This assessment is the most accurate, but also the most expensive.

With it, the car is subjected to a direct expert and technical examination, the legal completeness is checked and, and then, based on the results obtained, specialists in the field of secondary auto marketing make a conclusion about the market value of the car, which is as close as possible to the real one.

Such a conclusion, drawn up in a documentary form, is a very strong argument in the bargaining and a guarantee that you, in any case, will receive a fair payment.

If you decide to conduct such an assessment, then you need:

  • Find an independent appraiser that suits your appraisal and payment conditions - better company, but it can also be a private expert with the appropriate legal status;
  • Thoroughly clean and wash the car - some appraisers may take it upon themselves;
  • Provide the appraiser with the entire package of basic and additional documentation for the car - additional documents can be service books, reports on the repairs carried out, nodal and aggregate replacements, certificates of accidents, etc.
  • Provide verbal additional information that you have available to the evaluator that may help a more accurate estimate.
  • Evaluation of cars up to 6 months old and over 10 years old is carried out individually, according to their condition, without using calculation algorithms.
  • You should know that for each current year, the loss in the cost of a car is 10 or 12% in the first 2-3 years and 5-6% in subsequent years up to 10 years of age.
  • The average mileage of a passenger car is 15-20 thousand km / year. Cars with very low and very high mileage are evaluated by experts, without the use of formulas.

Let's digress. Earlier, I said that I like RC models, so this time again I am sharing with you a video from Korea in which drift masters polish the carpet:
