Used Valuations

Choose all the options and specifications you wish to be valued, then proceed to ‘BUY NOW’ under the ‘ALL VALUATIONS’ pricing tier. You’ll receive all our available used and future valuations for the vehicle and selected options.

Used Valuations

Our used valuations provide a comprehensive overview of your options’ value over the past 7 years. These values are applicable to any pre-owned vehicle you’re considering purchasing or currently own.

For example, if you’re interested in buying or selling a 2019 Nissan Qashqai, simply select Nissan Qashqai from our list, choose your specific options (such as Tekna Trim or LED Front Fog lights, etc), and refer to the 2019 column to view the current market value for those options.

Future Valuations

Our future valuations offer a forecasted value for your options over the next 7 years.

These estimates empower you to make informed decisions on a new vehicle, helping you identify which options will retain the most value over time.

For example, if you’re contemplating buying a brand-new Nissan Qashqai and are uncertain about upgrading to the Tekna Trim or adding LED Fog lights, our future valuations provide insights into how these options are expected to maintain their value.

All specifications and options are available on any tier. So don’t worry if you just want to know today’s value. That’s all included for free.

By upgrading to either the ‘All Valuations’ or ‘Business Pro’ tier, you gain access to every valuation we offer.

This means you can explore the Used and Future value of any option, such as a panoramic roof on a Volkswagen Golf.

Our paid tiers extend valuations for all options on vehicles dating back to 2017. Furthermore, we provide predicted future values for all options up to 2031.

Of course!

Just select your manufacturer and model, and the list of specifications and options will become available.

Everything listed in the ‘standard and optional equipment’ section above is tailored to the manufacturer and model you select.

Absolutely!

First, select your manufacturer and model.

Then, navigate to the “standard and optional equipment” section, and click on the search bar located on the right-hand side.

You can either type ‘trim’ to see all available trims for that model, or if you know the exact trim description, you can be more specific and type it in.

For instance:

Type ‘Trim’ on an Audi A4 to explore the Technik, Sport, S Line, and Vorsprung trim levels. Alternatively, type in ‘S Line Trim’ to view only that specific trim level. The choice is yours.

We provide valuations specifically for that chosen trim. If you see a £0 value, it typically indicates the base model.

Please note that we don’t consider any performance or engine variations, focusing solely on the worth of the specification/trim.

Trims, such as SE, S-Line, Sport etc are specific to the model you select.

In some instances, you will see a lower guide price for more expensive vehicles. For example, the Porsche Taycan ‘Turbo S’ trim will have a lower trim value than the ‘GTS’ trim.

This is because we’ve only looked at the specification, not the performance.

Manufacturers do not provide API access for options tied to a specific VIN or registration number. That level of information isn’t available to anybody, so, unfortunately, nobody can access it except the manufacturer and franchised dealers.

You can of course type your registration number into a number of 3rd party valuation services to get a general valuation on a vehicle, but none of them will provide a value that includes any options that were added, because they simply cannot access that data.

Car Spec Check uses real-world economics and expertise from around the world.

We use experts with decades of experience to help create an accurate valuation for the individual options on the manufacturer and model you select.

Our goal is to provide you with the most accurate option valuation possible, and we do this via a sophisticated valuation system and our industry-recognised experts.

Backed by decades of expertise, Car Spec Check ensures accuracy to the highest degree.

Manufacturers rely on Car Spec Check to inform decisions regarding standard vehicle features and projected resale values. Without reliability and trustworthiness, manufacturers wouldn’t utilize our guide.

No problem. We’ll automatically deliver an electronic copy of your valuation to your email inbox. Additionally, you’ll have the option to download a PDF copy for your convenience.

As often as is required.

Whenever we observe shifts in purchasing patterns, economic fluctuations, emerging trends, or changes in existing trends, we adjust the valuations accordingly.

Additionally, we continuously incorporate new vehicles into our database as they are released, ensuring that you have access to the latest manufacturers and models.

We value nearly every option and specification imaginable, but there are a few exceptions.

For instance, the system won’t allow you to add a panoramic roof to a convertible with a cloth roof, for obvious reasons.

Other than that, you can typically add any option to any vehicle, and we’ll assess its value accordingly.

If you have a specialist option or vehicle you’d like us to evaluate, please utilize the ”Contact‘ tab to submit your valuation request.

Options can significantly impact the value of a car, often influencing both its perceived worth and its actual resale value. The extent to which options affect value depends on various factors, including:

1. Desirability: Popular options such as navigation systems, leather upholstery, or advanced safety features tend to increase a vehicle’s value because they enhance comfort, convenience, and safety.

2. Market Demand: Options that align with current market trends or consumer preferences can command higher resale prices. For example, features related to fuel efficiency or connectivity may be highly sought after.

3. Condition and Age: As a vehicle ages, the value of its options may depreciate due to wear and tear or technological advancements. Older vehicles with outdated options may not command as high a price compared to newer models with the latest features.

4. Exclusivity: Rare or limited-edition options, such as special paint colors or performance packages, can significantly increase a vehicle’s value due to their scarcity and exclusivity.

5. Regional Factors: The value of options may vary depending on geographical location and local market conditions. Features that are highly valued in one region may not hold the same appeal in another. Such as Air Conditioning in Texas, which is an absolute must!

In summary, options can have a substantial impact on a car’s value, with highly desirable, well-maintained, and up-to-date features often commanding higher prices in the resale market.

Manufacturers ultimately dictate the prices of options on their vehicles.

We determine their value in the used and future markets using our economic models and expertise.

For instance, while Bentley may charge £5000+ for a Bang and Olufsen Audio system, Audi may charge “only” £750.

Our valuations reflect the actual worth of options, not the prices manufacturers believe they can charge.

Some options are valued at £0 because not all features add value to a vehicle, despite what manufacturers may claim. For instance, a CD player no longer holds value in a world where streaming is prevalent.

Similarly, while gesture control on a BMW may be convenient, our analysis suggests it doesn’t enhance a vehicle’s value.

Each option undergoes thorough evaluation. If an item is valued at £0, it’s not an error; it’s based on our meticulous analysis and expertise.

That’s correct. In the past, certain manufacturers attempted to persuade customers to purchase higher-spec vehicles by including additional safety equipment.

However, we list these items as £0.

Our analysis indicates that consumers don’t anticipate paying extra for enhanced safety features, as safety is considered essential at every price point.

Our pricing guide aligns with this perspective.

As automotive technology progresses, we must anticipate where that technology (and its value) will be in the future.

For instance, first-generation 360-degree cameras on older vehicles once added value, but as more vehicles now include them as standard equipment, the overall market value of the older generation decreases.

We must also consider where camera and screen technology will be in 7 years’ time. Will advancements like face recognition vehicle unlock or 8k screens become commonplace? These are all factors we consider when valuing future options.

Yes. All valuation guide prices for Car Spec Check include VAT, even commercial vehicles.
