A quick guide to the Ford value tool

How Ford values are calculated: Our calculator uses data from a wide variety of sources, including dealer transactions, depreciation costs for unique vehicles, and consumer information. The appraised value is based on factors such as the year of the Ford, the model, trim, mileage, depreciation and features.

Which Ford vehicles can be appraised: Just about every Ford is covered. The tool appraises vehicles dating back to 1990, so if you own a classic car, this method will not work. In that specific case, you'd need to find a specialized classic car guide, such as Hagerty, to determine its fair market value.

What you'll see in your Ford appraisal: We will help you make the best decision if you're selling or trading in your Ford. You will be presented with three or four Ford automobile values: trade-in, private party, dealer retail and certified used. The trade-in price is what you can expect from car dealerships if you trade in your current vehicle for your next car. It is always the lowest of the values.

If you plan on doing a private sale, the private-party amount is what a seller can expect. This is always a higher amount than the trade-in value, but it takes more work because you'll be dealing with buyers yourself.

The dealer retail value is for used Ford customers. It's an average of what a shopper may expect to pay when they visit the Ford dealership to buy the pre-owned Ford. If your used Ford is new enough, you will also see a suggested "certified used" number, the approximate sale price for customers looking for a certified pre-owned vehicle.
