🔑 Key Takeaway for Sellers
The ideal selling window is Year 3–5. Before Year 3, buyers expect near-new pricing; after Year 5, the depreciation curve flattens but buyer interest narrows significantly. Selling in Year 3–5 gives you the best combination of residual value and buyer demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the estimate?▼
Our estimate reflects fair market value within ±6%. The algorithm uses ex-showroom price, age, KM, condition, ownership history, city tier, transmission, and fuel type — the same 10 factors a professional dealer uses.
Which car brands does this support?▼
Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Honda, Toyota, Mahindra, Kia, Renault, MG, Volkswagen, and Skoda — 30+ models covering the vast majority of cars on Indian roads.
Is this a purchase offer?▼
No. This is an estimate to help you understand your car's fair market value. It's not a binding offer from any dealer or platform. Use it as a benchmark when negotiating.
Why does diesel get penalized?▼
Post-2018 BS6 norms, diesel cars have faced buyer reluctance in metros due to higher purchase price, more complex maintenance, and uncertainty around urban diesel restrictions.
What does Tier-1 city premium mean?▼
Metros like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru have much larger buyer pools, faster sales cycles, and buyers who can afford to pay slightly more. This creates a 3–5% natural premium over smaller cities.
How do I get the best price for my car?▼
Maintain complete service history, sell before 60,000 KM, sell in October–February (festival season), and list on direct buyer platforms like OLX after knowing your fair value from our tool.
