Formula Used

The car value is calculated using the following formula:

Estimated Value = (Base Price × Age Factor × Mileage Factor × Condition Factor) × Ontario Market Adjustment

Where:

Base Price - Manufacturer's suggested retail price for the specific model
Age Factor - Adjustment based on the vehicle's age (10% depreciation per year)
Mileage Factor - Adjustment based on annual mileage (5% depreciation per 10,000 km)
Condition Factor - Multiplier based on the vehicle's condition (1.0 for excellent, 0.8 for good, 0.6 for fair, 0.4 for poor)
Ontario Market Adjustment - Regional adjustment factor (1.05 for Ontario)

Note: This is an estimate only. Actual values may vary based on individual circumstances and current market conditions.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the value of a 2018 Toyota Camry with 50,000 km and good condition:

Base Price: $25,000
Age Factor: 2018 → 5 years old → 0.5 (50% depreciation)
Mileage Factor: 50,000 km → 5,000 km/year → 0.75 (25% depreciation)
Condition Factor: Good → 0.8
Ontario Market Adjustment: 1.05

Calculation: ($25,000 × 0.5 × 0.75 × 0.8) × 1.05 = $4,687.50

This example shows the estimated value of $4,687.50 for this particular vehicle.
