Getting the maximum value for your trade-in.

The trade-in option from CMH Mahindra Pinetown is more convenient and better because there is an abundance of vehicles available to choose from and everything is easy and hassle-free for you. No need to contend with the drawbacks that you tend to get when selling your vehicle privately. The information below from CMH Mahindra Pinetown will help you understand how prices are determined and how to find out the worth of your vehicle.

The market for used vehicles fluctuates daily so you can never get a real price. There are several ways to know a vehicle’s value:

• The age of the vehicle.

• The condition of the vehicle.

• Mileage of the vehicle.

• The quality of repair work and the popularity of the vehicle.

• Extras on the vehicle, whether they are factory fitted or not.

• The demand for used cars in the used department. As a result, consumers may naturally stop spending when the rand value is affected, and fuel prices rise.

How trade-in values are determined

The Autobid Guide is widely regarded as the must-have vehicle information resource for used vehicle trade-in and retail values. Every month, Autobid receives information from major dealerships nationwide on typical trade and retail prices. This information is then evaluated on a central database to provide retail and trade values contained in their guide.

It’s important to remember that the retail prices of vehicles you see on showroom floors or on websites such as Auto Trader include the dealer’s markup and any services it had to do or parts it provided to make it sale ready. The trade price (also called ‘book value’) of a car is the average remuneration paid for used vehicles by major used dealerships linked to the Autobid database.

How to get an accurate trade-in estimate

There are many ways to determine an average value for your model of vehicle, and it’s a wise idea to apply the following methods to arrive at a reasonable trade-in value:

Do online research: Look for similar models/year of manufacture as your vehicle on the likes of Autotrader and Carz.co.za to see how much they typically sell for.

Call a few dealerships: They may not want to give you an estimate without seeing the condition of the vehicle first, but it might give you a rough idea. Be sure to ask for an estimate from a dealer who specializes in your brand of vehicle.

Use an independent source: Autobid vehicle Value Report offers insights into the retail and trade-in value of your vehicle.

Why is an accurate trade-in value so crucial?

There are many obvious reasons to know the price you should be getting for your vehicle. These include making the most money on the deal, getting a better set of wheels and not feeling exploited by motor dealerships. However, it’s also helpful to know the value of the vehicle to work out your budget. You can compare running costs with the new vehicle you have in mind, as well as what the insurance premium will be.

Netstar is a tracking vehicle company that CMH Mahindra Pinetown uses because they have a large subscriber base of over 70 000 clients. Leaders in vehicle tracking and recovery have been around since 1994. Netstar recovery helicopters and ground crew are based at 18 airfields around Southern Africa. Recovery rate above 90 % and an average recovery time of 45 minutes. Netstar was the first to launch in South Africa. They have their own private RF network which allows the sending of an abuse signal to our control room. They have over 100 fitment centers around Southern Africa to install and maintain their products. They have a 24-hour control room operation with dedicated and experienced staff.

There are three products that CMH Mahindra Pinetown uses and clients as well:

#1 Netstar basic

This comes with battery disconnect notification via SMS and has an impact detection which can alert the control room of a possible accident. There is a phone in system which means the client needs to contact the control room should the vehicle be stolen or hi-jacked.

#2 Netstar Plus

It comes with all the features that the Netstar basic has. In addition, clients can download the Netstar app on their phones and monitor their vehicles online. They can set up driver behavior alerts if necessary, generate trip reports, and obtain SARS tax logbooks for tax purposes. It is also a phone-in system so should the vehicle be stolen or hi-jacked; the client needs to contact our control room for assistance.

#3 Netstar Early Warning

This is the top-of-the-range system which has all the bells and whistles of the BASIC and PLUS combined, together with a few more added benefits. One is it comes with a panic button which allows customers to alert Netstar of any emergency like a hijacking situation (clients can choose between a remote or wired panic button depending on their preference) and secondly it comes with tags. One is for the spare key and the other for the main key. The tag is designed to arm and disarm the tracking device automatically when the client approaches the vehicle and moves away from it, respectively. When the tag is not present it allows us to detect ignition theft and unauthorized towing. Thirdly it has jamming resistance technology-if the device is being jammed it will switch from GPS/GSM over to the RF and alert the control room of an abuse signal. Lastly, it also comes with car parking jamming-the client will receive an SMS notification if the device detects jamming at the shopping centre.

The benefits of choosing Netstar are many, including the rate of recovery, finding a vehicle, and ensuring your safety. Make the right choice and choose Netstar.
