How does RedBook arrive at the vehicle prices it quotes? |
|
RedBook's price guides are derived from extensive research which encompasses obtaining details of sales through auction houses and motor dealers all around Australia, from vehicle manufacturers, from monitoring the classifed advertising in every major publication in Australia and from actual field research. This vast volume of data is reviewed by RedBook's expert pricing panel and adjustments made. Each month RedBook changes around 30,000 prices in its database of over 50,000 vehicles.

|
How often is the information on the RedBook site updated? |
|
Daily for new models and changes to specifications, monthly for used vehicle prices.
|
|
Are there price variances in the different geographical areas? |
|
Generally speaking, there are no major price differences around Australia. The reason being that it is so easy and inexpensive for the trade to move vehicles from one location to another and professional buyers operate all around Australia.

What does your "trade-in" price mean? |
|
The trade-in price quoted on this web-site is the price range you could reasonably expect to obtain from a professional vehicle dealer as a trade-in for your vehicle on another vehicle.
|
|
What does the "private sale" price mean? |
|
The private sale price is an estimation of the price range you could expect to achieve (or pay) for a vehicle sold privately ( i.e not through a dealer). This will usually be less than a dealer's retail price because the dealer has had to bring the car up to marketable standard both mechanically and aesthetically and the dealer has to provide a warranty coverage after the sale. These things are not provided by the private sale.
|
|
Does the RRP include "On Road Costs"? |
|
Prices of new units are Recommended Retail Price (RRP) from the manufacturer and do not include dealer on road costs e.g. Registration, warranty, delivery costs. Charges can differ from state to state.
|
|
Why is my car not there? |
|
Red Book Australia only covers the Australian car market, with Australian cars only. See our other sites at www.redbookasiapacific.com to see the other countries we cover.

|
How can I find potential cars I'm interested in, without knowing exactly what I'm after? |
|
In the advanced search (press "search to look up vehicles by specific characteristics" from the used car values screen) you can specify various different parameters which may help you find the car you are after. You can search for cars of different sizes, prices etc.
