Questions about the price estimate.
Can’t find your answer? Contact us.
How accurate is the estimate?
We tested it on past sales. About half of cars sold inside the likely range, and about 8 in 10 inside the wide range. Use the estimate as a fair price and the top of the likely range as a maximum bid that keeps you from overpaying.
What can I paste in?
A lot link from a US salvage auction, a lot number, or a 17-character VIN.
What counts as a similar sale?
A recent sale of the same model, close in year and mileage, with similar damage and run condition. The estimate page lists every one of them, so you can check them yourself.
Does the estimate include fees?
No. The estimate is the auction result. The total cost adds buyer fees, towing, shipping to one of five European ports, duty and VAT, and you can change the bid to see a new total.
