WHAT ELSE IS MY TRUCK WORTH?

In contrast to passenger cars, the issue of residual value and valuation of commercial vehicles is much more difficult. This is not least due to the large number of different variants that exist. Make and model as well as typical data such as year of first registration and mileage provide an initial direction, but are not sufficient. On this page, you will find information about truck valuation and the residual value of the vehicle.

Can I have my truck appraised by Schwacke?

In short — no. Schwacke is one of the market leaders in the passenger car sector. When it comes to trucks and commercial vehicles, things are different. Schwacke offers no solution here. This is also due to the fact that commercial vehicles are highly individual and the company has not yet tackled this issue. By the way, the same applies to DAT, which only depicts transporters.

Is Eurotax an alternative to Schwacke in order to be able to estimate the value of the truck?

Here, too, the answer is short and concise - no. Like Schwacke, Eurotax focuses on the passenger car sector, for the same reasons. So far, the company has not taken the trouble to also serve customers from the commercial vehicle sector and help them determine the residual value.

How can I still determine the value of my vehicle?

Nevertheless, it is possible to get an initial review online. It is usually worth taking a look at the offers from Autoline or even mobile. But there are two significant drawbacks here: On the one hand, dealer sales prices are displayed. Retailers do not buy at this price because they include security for downtimes, goodwill claims, etc. On the other hand, the diversity makes it extremely difficult to find a comparable vehicle. Important vehicle data that has an influence on the value is sometimes hidden in running text.

Are there any other ways to estimate the truck value?

Furthermore, it is of course always possible to inquire about several retailers and obtain offers. However, it is often the case that binding offers and value are only submitted after on-site viewing. For this reason, people who want to sell their trucks tend to ask local dealers. BUT: They give experience from your business and do not market it to the next customer, but to the next retailer. And this is reflected in a lower price when selling trucks.

I have an ongoing leasing contract, is it worth it to unlock the vehicle?

Here it is essential to know the true residual value based on current demand. Truck manufacturers sometimes surprise customers with high repair costs at the end of the term, so selling them yourself is worthwhile in most cases.
