What you get for each car
- Today's market value in Germany (P50), with the usual P10–P90 range.

- The same value as a percentage of that version's new price.

What will a car be worth in Germany in 3 years?
It depends on the exact version, the annual mileage and the fuel type. Two cars of the same model can end up thousands of euros apart if the engine or trim differs. And the same car does not keep the same value in Germany as in other European markets.
For a specific car, pick make, model, version, year and mileage in the valuation tool and read the 36-month value off the curve, with its band. For many cars at once, an Excel batch (up to 200 per file) or the API give you the same in bulk.
