Valuation methodology

How we make a value more defensible.

A useful valuation explains why a car can sell within a range, instead of showing one isolated price.

Method

Value is built from visible criteria.

We look at the vehicle, declared condition, available proof, Luxembourg context and your selling priority. The output should help you decide, negotiate or choose a route.

Criteria

What shapes the estimate.

The same model can sell very differently depending on real condition and level of proof.

Configuration

Year, engine, trim, transmission, options and segment demand.

Use

Mileage, city or motorway use, tyres, technical inspection and maintenance.

Perceived risk

Visible defects, incomplete history, recent repairs or mechanical questions.

Limits

What the estimate does not claim to do.

A valuation is not a firm purchase promise. It becomes stronger when the file includes photos, documents and a diagnostic if needed.

Not a price guarantee

The final offer depends on buyer, timing and inspection.

Not an automatic listing

The file helps decide before any public publication.

Improved by proof

History, invoices and diagnostics reduce uncertainty.

Your file

The clearer the file, the more useful the valuation.

Start with the main information and add the proof you already have.

Data, editorial control and corrections

Valuations consider vehicle characteristics, mileage, condition, history, local demand and relevant comparables. SellMyCar.lu sells seller services; that commercial role is disclosed whenever our content compares selling routes.

Public reports contain approved aggregates only. Any segment with fewer than 20 seller files is suppressed or combined. Contact details, VINs, registration plates, precise locations, photographs and free text are excluded.

Procedural pages are reviewed at least every 90 days and comparisons every 180 days. A review without a substantive content change updates the verification date, not the modification date.
