Geographical location of a vehicle plays a big role in its value, and it's typically driven by demand factors.

Imagine the same 2022 Honda Civic in urban Atlanta vs. rural Nebraska.

Atlanta commuters want fuel-efficient cars. A high population density = more buyers competing for the same car, so values go up.

However, in rural Nebraska, there are fewer people and less demand for compact cars. Buyers might prefer trucks/SUVs, so values go down.

Vehicle history matters much more than one might think. It heavily impacts a vehicle's valuation and assists lenders, dealers, and OEMs in making smarter decisions.

Keeping clients informed will always be our goal.

A vehicle's VIN can tell you a lot about the make and model, but it may not tell the whole story.

A frequently asked question we get is: "Why is basic VIN decoding not always enough?"

Basic VIN decoding may not always identify one exact trim or full vehicle configuration. Approximately 30% of VINs do not decode to a single trim level, which can create ambiguity for valuation and decisioning workflows.

At Black Book, we solved this issue by sourcing and integrating vehicle history report data from Experian AutoCheck® so the full story can be told by a VIN number.

The result is less guessing, less manual work on your end, and more precise data for intelligent decision-making.

“Being the first specialty vehicle manufacturer to offer online trade-in valuations reflects that commitment. Whether a customer is shopping for one of our performance cars or an upfitted truck, they can now better understand the value of their current vehicle early in the buying process, making the path to ownership simpler and more transparent,” says Brock Patterson, Director of Sales and Marketing at Shelby American.

This September, depreciation stayed well above seasonal norms. Every week, the overall market fell by roughly two and a half to more than four times the 2017 - 2019 average for the same week. On top of that, buyers became increasingly selective, focusing on condition, mileage, configuration, and retail appeal, and units with multiple negatives traded below clean-book expectations.

Would you have valued these vehicles the same?

At Black Book, we believe a vehicles history is vital to giving a proper valuation.

Looking at these two examples, other tools would value these vehicles the same. But, they really shouldn't.

We source and integrate vehicle history reports from AutoCheck® to ensure you are given precise data to make better decisions, no matter where in the industry you serve.
