How to find the right price for your car

Too high means months without a call. Too low means money given away. The path between.

The essentials

  • An overpriced car sits and ends up selling for less than a fair opening price.
  • The free valuation shows the market price band and a recommended price for the condition.
  • If two weeks bring no serious enquiry, the price is too high.

Why the first price matters

The first price decides almost everything. An overpriced car sits, goes stale in the listings and finally sells below what a fair opening price would have earned.

Five steps to the price

  1. Start with the free valuation: it compares your car with cars of the same model and similar years in the Kosovo market, by mileage too when there are enough comparisons, and shows below the result what it is based on.
  2. Answer the eight condition questions honestly: accident, rust, warning light, service book, first owner, tyres and brakes, technical inspection, papers. The valuation moves the price itself; do not add or subtract it again.
  3. Check what others ask for the same car. In the app every listing also shows how long it has been online.
  4. Set the price just under a round line: at €9,900 the car also shows up in a search “up to €10,000”, at €10,100 it does not.
  5. Give yourself a deadline: if two weeks bring no serious enquiry, the price is too high — not the market.

Do not start high "to leave room". Buyers filter by price; above their limit you are not seen at all and negotiate with nobody.
