How Much Is My Car Really Worth in 2026?
A plain-English guide to what actually drives your car's value — and how to get the best cash price.
The value of your car comes down to a handful of honest factors: make and model demand, age, kilometres, service history, and condition. In this guide we break down each one so you know what to expect before you get a quote.
Demand matters most. Popular, reliable models with strong resale — think Toyota, Mazda and Hyundai — hold value better than niche or thirsty vehicles. Kilometres are the next big lever: every car depreciates with use, but a well-serviced high-kilometre car can still beat a neglected low-kilometre one.
Condition and history round it out. A full logbook, no accident damage and a clean PPSR record all push the number up. The best thing you can do is be upfront — accurate details mean an accurate offer, and an offer we'll honour for 7 days.
