What Determines My Car's Value?

The main two factors that affect your vehicle's value are its mileage and its condition. Sure, options, location and color also play a role, but the primary contributors that determine your car, truck or SUV's worth are how many miles you've put on it and what kind of shape it's in. Why? Simple. See, when your mileage goes up, buyers assume that the wear and tear on your vehicle go up as well. Since so much of car buying is about face value and initial reactions, it makes sense that a buyer would feel a vehicle is in better shape were it to have lower miles. Meaning your Nissan Versa trade-in value will go up if you have 20,000 miles from some to-and-from work travel in Athens, TN rather than 200,000 miles from several cross-country trips.

This, of course, plays right into the condition of your car. Torn seats, chipped paint and any dings or scrapes will lower the value of your car instantly – even if it has low miles. This doesn't mean you can't still get a good price for your trade-in though, that's why our team is standing by to answer any questions you might have about the value of your car.

What is My Car's Worth?

You can use our handy trade-in calculator above to get an idea of what your vehicle is worth. Remember, mileage and condition play big roles in determining your trade-in value, but they're not the only factors to consider. You can to think about location too. For example, an SUV will be worth more in areas with harsh winters whereas a convertible will do better along a sunny coast. When it comes to the options on your vehicle, if you have a diesel engine, panoramic sunroof or AWD, you're likely to get more for your trade-in than if you don't. Lastly, colors play a minor role in your car's value too. When you're thinking resale, think of common colors like blue, black and silver rather than more unique colors such as brown, yellow and purple. For example, your Nissan Rogue trade-in value will likely be more if it is white rather than orange.
