Price Indicators – What are they?

Price indicators show how a vehicle's price compares to similar vehicles listed on carsales.

They are based on recently delisted carsales listings, and reflect where a vehicle sits relative to comparable cars with similar attributes (such as make, model, year and kilometres). The comparison is based on a range of similar vehicles, which can vary depending on factors like kilometres.

Remember this is a starting point only - you should make your own assessment of the vehicle and its price.

Important information

Price indicators use a range of information, including vehicle details provided by sellers and prices from comparable listings on carsales (based on recent listings that have been removed from the site). These listing prices may not reflect the final sale price.

Price indicators can change over time as listings and pricing change. The same vehicle may receive a different indicator at different points in time.

Because factors such as condition, vehicle history and extras are not taken into account, you should make your own assessment before purchasing.
