Where the asking price falls.

Put the asking price next to the bands in the report. Each zone tells you what to find out before you make an offer.

Below the recommended price

A good price is only good news if you know why. Ask for the service history and check the current condition at the viewing.

Ask: why is it cheaper than the market?

In the recommended range

The price is normal for a car of this type. The negotiation starts from what you find in the report and at the viewing.

Ask: what has been replaced on the car in the last year?

Above the recommended price

The seller has to justify the difference: factory equipment, a complete history, very good condition.

Ask for: proof of what makes the car more expensive.

How Certcar works out the value.

The estimate starts from the technical data of the exact car, then adjusts the price for the mileage and damage found in the history.

Mileage history
From the readings found in the mileage history. Low mileage raises the price, high mileage lowers it.
Damage history
Recorded damage, and any total loss, lowers the price. A car without damage stays in the upper range.

Your negotiation notes2 argumente

Start from the recommended price20.670 EUR

1
The car has recorded damage, and the estimated value takes it into account. An asking price above the estimate needs justifying.
Ask for: the repair invoice or estimate and a check of the affected areas.
2
The service history has gaps. The missing work may soon fall to you.
Ask for: the invoices from the period without records.

The Certcar method starts from the car's technical data (make, model, year, engine, fuel, gearbox, drivetrain, body type, power) and adjusts the price for the mileage and damage history, including any total loss. The result is an estimate for the Romanian market.

Two cars with the same data sell at different prices depending on condition, equipment and seller. The range shows where a price usually falls and where it becomes low or high.

Yes. The mileage and damage found in the history move the price up or down. Their details are in the same report, as arguments for negotiating.

Yes, the values include VAT, so you can compare them directly with prices in listings.

The market value appears when there are enough similar cars for an estimate. If there aren't, the section is left out and the rest of the report stays complete.

No. The value is a guide, not an offer to buy or sell. You agree the final price with the seller.
