How we work
What we guarantee and what we do not.
A valuation is only useful if you know where it comes from and how far you can rely on it. This page sums up our commitments; measured accuracy, with its date, is on the accuracy page.
01 · Data
Our own market data, aggregated and validated.
We work with our own market data in every country in service, aggregated and validated before it is used.
Our own market data
The data we work with is our own, kept up to date and validated before it reaches the model. We always work with aggregates of comparable vehicles, not with individual cases.
Reference new-vehicle price
Every valuation rests on a reference new-vehicle price per trim and year, in local currency and EUR, which makes depreciation curves comparable across markets.
Our own model, kept current
The model is our own, one per country, and is updated and measured continuously so valuations keep up with the market.
02 · Every valuation
A market value with its uncertainty band.
Every valuation returns a market value for the vehicle described and the band within which it is reasonable to expect it.
P10–P90 band
Alongside the central value we give a P10–P90 band. Where the market is more dispersed, the band is wider: we show it rather than hide it in the average.
Conservative policy
We would rather fall short than overvalue. When in doubt, the valuation leans down, not up.
More uncertainty on older vehicles
Above roughly 8 years, condition, history, and maintenance outweigh the spec sheet, and uncertainty grows. The band reflects it.
03 · Accuracy
Measured every cycle, on request.
We measure accuracy in every cycle, with the model in service. Results are available on request for professional clients. Accuracy varies by market: large markets have more depth than small ones.
04 · What it is not
Limits, stated upfront.
We would rather you know the limits before using our valuations than after.
Not an expert appraisal
It is a statistical estimate of market value. It does not replace an inspection of the vehicle or an expert appraisal.
Not a price guarantee
We do not guarantee that a vehicle will be sold or bought at the estimated value.
Privacy
We only work with aggregates, never with individual records. We do not collect, store, or sell personal data of buyers or sellers.
