If you want to compare used cars to find out which one offers a greater price advantage, you will soon find out that this is a real challenge. Even very similar vehicles differ in detail in terms of their equipment when you take a closer look. The free car.De price-check makes it very easy to find out the correct market value and thus get an accurate used car comparison.
Why comparing used cars is difficult
If two or more cars are to be compared with each other by determining a vehicle’s value, one often encounters the difficulty that up to 100 vehicle features must be included in order to make an accurate, used car comparison. From vehicle to vehicle, the equipment features can differ even in small details, which nevertheless have an influence on the value. A direct comparison of used cars is very difficult in this way.
Alt="around 100 vehicle features must be included if the used car comparison is to be accurate." />about 100 vehicle features must be included if the used car comparison is to be accurate.
What makes the used car comparison even more difficult: not all equipment features influence the vehicle value to the same extent. the presence of a certain feature may increase the value of one model, but have no effect on the value of other vehicles, or may even decrease the value. How this can be done? A good example is the air conditioning system: in a very small car, an air conditioning system usually increases the value, as it is not a standard feature and is therefore sought after. In a vehicle of the upper middle class, however, the presence of an air conditioning system can even reduce its value – because here is now a standard automatic air conditioning system. A conscientious comparison of used cars not only examines the individual vehicle features, but also their relevance for the market value of the vehicle.
However, such an exact comparison can probably only be made by proven car experts. If you want to compare used cars in layman’s terms, you cannot do this easily. However, it is not always an option to call in an expensive car expert. Higher two- to three-digit sums are due per appraisal, and if a used car comparison is to be carried out between several vehicles, it can be quite expensive.
