How Do You Determine What My Car Is Worth?

The Big Lot partners with trusted Kelley Blue Book® to present a cash offer for your car. The offer is determined by the unique details pertaining to your vehicle. These factors include mechanical condition, options, interior and exterior condition, mileage and your vehicle’s ability to hold value over time.

Another consideration is supply and demand in the market. Consumer trends play a significant part in determining a car's value. When a large number of buyers are interested in a particular vehicle which is in short supply, the value of that vehicle goes up.

Then there are those vehicles which historically retain their value and are in higher demand than others. Geography is another relevant factor in determining the value of a vehicle. For example, large trucks may be more valuable in Montana while compact cars might be more in demand in a New York City where space is limited.

Finally, comparable vehicle sales in your area are take into account. Details like dealer sales data, auction prices, and private seller prices from local advertisements are all factored into the calculations made by The Big Lot. It all sounds like a lot to take in but thankfully you don’t have to because it’s all taken care of by The Big Lot.
