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

Know the approximate cost of the car that the buyer is going to buy - the right way insure yourself against deception by the seller. Interested to know the cost of their own vehicle fleet and the owners transport companies... All of the above categories of citizens are unlikely to be able to set the adequate cost of their cars on their own, and the solution may be to contact a professional expert 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, car rating on online calculator e Yandex, has become a completely adequate alternative to appraisers. Many car owners or buyers who have already used online service assessments, 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 is 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 of components and mechanisms, as well as the moral obsolescence of the car, 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 a car on Yandex.Auto using a calculator is based on the following vehicle parameters:

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 very large amount of time on 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 for free on Yandex, by default, is configured for the region from which the user goes online. This significantly increases the accuracy of the estimate, because in different regions country scale of values ​​is quite different, respectively, the cost of 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, he can 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 point is that the expert, after the assessment, draws up an appropriate act, which is signed by the responsible person or the interested parties in the dispute. After signing, this act becomes a legally binding paper, 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, advertisements for the sale of which are available here. Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of them, they are all posted 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 the expectation of bargaining with the buyer. Therefore, taking as a basis average price of all cars, the service may give a slightly higher cost. Although for someone this is not a disadvantage at all - the same bargaining will put everything in its place.

Nevertheless, appraisal of the cost of a car on Yandex.Auto is by far the most demanded 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 that they want to buy, the service will immediately give out several charts with information about the price change and the number of offers at the current moment.

Immediately below the graphs, there are links that can be used to go to a page with ads of the exact brand, the parameters of which were entered by the user. At the same time, the sale value of the car is already indicated in each ad. Therefore, there is no need to call dozens of users “blindly” in search of the best price. How to work with this service can be seen in the video:

A proposal creates a proposal

Real value specific brand no one will tell you a car in Russia for a certain period of time, not even a professional car dealer. The fact is that there is still no single information base on the real cost of certain models on the domestic used car market. There are no active exchanges on which trades are taking place (the price is formed depending on demand) and which record the dynamics of changes in the value of the offered lots. Therefore, everyone who comes out with their proposal does not have the slightest idea what the real cost of the car they want to sell is now. At the same time, there is a whole industry of valuation in the US and Europe.

The largest corporations are engaged in the evaluation of used cars, regularly publish bulletins and other printed publications, which record prices and their dynamics. This is the case, for example, of the Kelley Blue Book company, founded in 1918 (at first the company was called the Kelley Kar Company). The oldest used car appraisal company has since 1993 produced the Consumer Edition of the Blue Book, which is considered the best publication for car dealers, and the prices shown in it are equal to all dealers in the world. Except Russian ones. Our specialists have to focus on other participants in the trading process who, in turn, are equally unaware of the general state of the domestic used car market. After all, focusing on the price at which cars are offered by other sellers, you can only find out the value of the offer, and not the final cost of the car, which is usually somewhat lower.

We assign a price

How can you independently set the real price of your car, if you have no idea at all how much it costs on the market now? The scheme is quite simple: first you need to go to popular sites with advertisements for the sale of cars, for example auto.ru or avito.ru. Here, in the filters of the sites, you select proposals according to the parameters corresponding to your car - this is the brand, model, year of manufacture, engine size, transmission ("automatic" or "mechanics"), body type, drive. Run a search and get a list of offers from sellers selling cars like yours. This is the starting point from which to move when price formation.

After analyzing all offers, you will receive a certain price range. Let's take roughly 500-700 thousand rubles. In this range, you have to designate your proposal. Naturally, every seller wants to put the car up for sale at a higher price. Usually, the average value is selected from the obtained range. That is, in our hypothetical case, it will happen like this: (500 + 700) / 2. Accordingly, the price value of the offer will be, on average, about 600 thousand rubles. But we must remember that every car owner loves his car and thinks that it is worth a little more than the same, but someone else's... Thus, the seller's price corridor is the upper half of the previously indicated range.

And the buyer who wants to buy a car, on the contrary, acts in the other, lower half. He begins to consider the cheapest offers and moves towards increasing prices. Rarely do any of the buyers get to the areas where the seller is waiting for him. The most interesting thing is that there are many such would-be sellers - almost all amateurs use erroneous pricing tactics. It turns out that the upper half unintentionally swells up, without a real reason for this. There are many offers with inflated figures, but the buyer is in no hurry to purchase cars at such a cost. It seems that the price for the car is set slightly higher than the market average, but it has not been possible to sell it.

Important little things

Among car owners about to sell own car, there is a strong opinion that the "dopas" in the form of a set winter tires, a sunroof or something else of that kind allows you to sell the car at a higher price. This is not entirely true. Such bonuses can serve as an advantage if the price for similar from a technical point of view (the condition of the body is taken into account, of course) is the same. Also additional options can work if there is a specific buyer who, like the hero of a famous film, wants to buy "just this one, but without buttons." He is ready to pay more for his quirks, but it will take a long time to wait for such a buyer, and there is no guarantee that he will be found.

Trusting

The best way to win over a buyer is to tell him everything as it is., while emphasizing that each defect is a reason for a price reduction and you are ready to go for it. If any body part(for example, a wing) requires replacement or repair, then you need to know in advance the cost of repair and inform the buyer about it, saying that you are ready to reduce the price by this amount. Of course, it is worth doing a light pre-sale preparation of the car. Tighten up slightly loose parts, eliminate rumbling and creaking, where possible, touch up small chips, polish the body - this will immediately eliminate minor scratches and will make the car look much more presentable and attractive.

Act according to the circumstances

Of course, the choice of price also depends on what goal you set when selling your car. If your main goal is to sell quickly, then immediately set a price that competes with the lowest lines of the offer. If you make the price below this limit, then the car will be sold as quickly as it is physically possible. True, in this case, losses in money cannot be avoided. If the speed of sale is not so important, then you can expose the car at an inflated cost, watch the reaction of buyers, observe the number of views of the ad and incoming calls and, based on this, take further steps... And don't be upset if not everything turns out the way you want it. These recommendations only at first glance seem quite simple and accessible even to amateurs, but they are not. Only professionals who have been selling for many years using their experience, knowledge and intuition can set a real price for a car and quickly sell it.

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! Indeed, 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.

General features

The most widely used assessment method today is based on comparison. More precisely, on a comparative analysis of any actual 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 (that is, 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 in itself, in terms of prices, it differs greatly from Western ones. Well, the domestic auto industry is unique for the CIS countries.

But there is also a good side of the coin! Well, what about without our "every cloud is a blessing"? 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.

This, by the way, is one of the main mechanisms for earning dealers. The peculiarity of this method is that you are forced to navigate in prices on other sellers, who, in turn, may 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 precisely 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 ​​the 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 slovenliness 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;
• Technical condition of the main components and assemblies;
• Availability and technical condition additional components and assemblies;
• Terms of Use;
• Problematic / unproblematic;
• 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 (in the negative, of course), since it is more expensive to conceal such things - the buyer, when he discovers a catch, will throw off the price according to his own understanding ...

Important! Do not neglect pre-sale preparation ( pre-sale preparation 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 not just, but really pay tax, then you should take 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 advertisements; "Behind the Wheel", "Autoworld", "From Hands to Hands", local publications and you analyze, writing down the prices of options with car parameters similar to yours;
• You 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 data from online searches and analyzed periodicals, you will get a rough price corridor (for example, from 430 to 670 thousand rubles);
• From the price corridor, you need to calculate the average value by summing up the two extreme numbers and dividing them by two (430 + 670/2 = 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 reduce the price monthly by 3-5%, depending on the results of your communication on calls and on sites, up 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:

• Estimation 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

V in this case you simply apply for an insurance policy, and to obtain it you always need the most accurate market valuation 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 equal to 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, this is me 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 appraisal 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 will receive a fair payment in any case.

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 repairs carried out, assembly and assembly 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 small and very high mileage are evaluated by experts, without the use of formulas.

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