1. What is the Car Market Price Calculator?

The Car Market Price Calculator estimates the current market value of vehicles in Australia based on multiple factors including age, mileage, condition, and location. It provides a realistic assessment of what a vehicle might sell for in the current Australian market.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Price = BasePrice \times ConditionFactor \times AgeFactor \times MileageFactor \times LocationFactor \]

Where:

\( BasePrice \) — Original or estimated base price of the vehicle
\( ConditionFactor \) — Multiplier based on vehicle condition (Excellent: 1.0, Good: 0.85, Fair: 0.7, Poor: 0.5)
\( AgeFactor \) — Annual depreciation factor (5% per year)
\( MileageFactor \) — Adjustment based on kilometers driven
\( LocationFactor \) — Regional price variation (Metro: 1.1, Regional: 1.0, Rural: 0.9)

Explanation: The equation accounts for multiple factors that influence vehicle pricing in the Australian market, providing a comprehensive valuation.

3. Importance of Accurate Vehicle Valuation

Details: Accurate vehicle valuation is crucial for buying/selling decisions, insurance purposes, financing, and overall financial planning related to vehicle ownership.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the vehicle's base price in AUD, age in years, mileage in kilometers, select condition and location. All values must be valid (price > 0, age between 0-50, mileage >= 0).
