How the car valuation at Autobuster is calculated
Our car valuation is based on an innovative combination of data and expertise. We use current marketplace data to capture real-world sales prices and supplement this with our extensive experience in the car trade. This valuable information feeds into our advanced AI model, which enables precise and scalable car valuation. This gives you a reliable, market-driven assessment of your vehicle’s value that is both data-driven and practical.
Frequently asked questions about car valuation
While Eurotax and Auto-i are designed as paid B2B solutions for garages, Autobuster offers a free, dynamic valuation for private customers. Our system is based on up-to-date market data and utilises advanced, data-driven technology. In addition, our service is specifically tailored to the Swiss market, which allows for a more accurate assessment of local conditions.
Because our evaluation process ensures this, this is done in the following two steps:
1. sales price assessment: 95% of the correct price is defined here. This is done by a combination of app evaluation and manual checking by us. The vehicle segment is determined and current market data is compared again.
2. TCS inspection: The condition is checked again in detail. Defects are discussed and together we determine whether they should be repaired before the sale. In this phase, our extensive experience and expert advice are utilised to ensure an optimal valuation.
Various factors influence the value of your car. The year of manufacture, make and model play an important role, as do the mileage and general condition of the vehicle. A complete service history and no accidents have a positive effect. The current market situation is also factored into the assessment. The more favourable these factors are, the higher the value of your vehicle will generally be.
The condition of a vehicle has a significant influence on its value. Three main factors play a decisive role here:
- Basics: Ensured by current service, valid MOT and warranty.
- Technical condition: Thoroughly assessed by TCS experts to rule out potential problems for buyers.
- Visual condition of the bodywork: A well-maintained exterior can significantly increase the price. Autobuster provides targeted advice on the most effective repairs to increase the value and assists with the handling of parking damage.
Autobuster cannot draw any conclusions about personal data from the licence plate. The licence plate number only provides access to relevant vehicle data that is necessary for a precise and efficient valuation of the car. This process ensures both the protection of privacy and an accurate assessment of the vehicle’s value.
Car valuation with our tool is free of charge.
