How the maths work
Three numbers most Toyota owners never sit down with.
01 · Current market value
What specialists would pay for your Toyota today.
Our model uses make, model, year, mileage, service history, and condition. Specialists know the real Toyota trade better than instant-quote algorithms, so they typically price higher.
02 · Monthly ownership costs
Everything it costs to keep the car on the road.
Finance or loan, fuel or electric, insurance, tax, maintenance, breakdown cover. Most owners underestimate this by 10–15%. Be honest when you add them up.
03 · Monthly depreciation
The value your Toyota loses each month.
Well-maintained Toyotas hold value well, but all cars depreciate. Newer models and hybrids typically lose less value. We factor the market into your answer.
Simple rule: if monthly costs are higher than monthly depreciation, selling probably makes sense. If costs are low relative to depreciation, holding is the smarter choice.
