Every used vehicle has a unique history – and that means it also has a unique value. We use information like odometer readings, prior damage, ownership history, service history, use type, location, and market trends to determine a custom-built value for each car. For example, you wouldn't expect to pay the same price for a car that has been in an accident versus one that hasn't.

Other valuation tools take the information you provide about a vehicle and then compare it to a cross-section of similar vehicles and averages of vehicles currently listed in the market to provide you with a value. 

CARFAX Canada History-Based Value leverages millions of current and historical data records to accurately predict a vehicle’s value. History-Based Value factors a vehicle’s unique history into the equation. The result is a custom-built valuation for your specific vehicle. 

When you email yourself your Value Range, you have access to it for 14 days. After that time, you will be asked to update the information that may have changed since generating your last value to ensure accuracy.

Most CARFAX Canada reports are ready to view within minutes.

In order to provide the most up-to-date information in our reports, we collect data in real time from a variety of sources, in multiple time zones, with different hours of operation. In some cases you might see "Almost done..." or "Pending" appear on the report - meaning one or more of our data sources may be temporarily unavailable. Your report will complete once we have received a response from each our data sources.

For more information, please see: My report says “Almost done...” or “pending,” what does that mean?

Please refresh your report or check back later to see if your report status has updated to "Complete." You may need to wait until the next business day for your report to complete.

The amount a person asks for their car isn't necessarily how much it sells for. Get a fair price with a range and average based on what similar models have sold for in your area with CARFAX Canada's FREE Value Range tool: www.carfax.ca/car-value

The CARFAX Canada Value Range generates results based on sales of similar vehicle models in your area. It does not use information specific to your vehicle or VIN.

A value based on information specific to your vehicle or VIN may be obtained through a History-Based Value.
