Instant Valuation
What is Instant Valuation and how does it work?
Toyota’s Instant Valuation tool is an online calculator that provides you with an estimated value on your used vehicle. To receive an instant estimated valuation, you will be asked to submit information regarding the condition of your vehicle. If you would like to proceed with a Dealer offer, your vehicle will be inspected by a representative from your preferred Dealership. Following this, your Dealer will confirm the valuation and finalise an offer.
What factors might affect my car’s estimated value?
The age, mileage, service history and condition of your used vehicle will be the primary factors in determining your car’s estimated value.
How is my car valued?
Once you have submitted details about your car and its condition, we evaluate this information before providing you with your offer. This offer price is based on sales data of similar cars from sources such as redbook.com.au as well as the Toyota dealership network.
Why might my estimated valuation be adjusted?
Following your estimated valuation, you may choose to book an appraisal with a representative from your preferred Toyota Dealership. After the inspection, your Dealer may adjust your estimated valuation based on their observations regarding the wear and tear of your vehicle, or if there are any inconsistencies between the information you shared online, the vehicle itself and the documentation you’re able to provide (for example, regarding your servicing and accident history, or accessories and third-party modifications). This will determine the final valuation your Dealer can provide.
How do I prepare my car for valuation?
Make sure all the information you have submitted is up to date and don't forget to remove your personal belongings before the inspection.
Can I improve my car’s valuation before selling?
The condition of your vehicle will impact its valuation, and you may be able to improve its condition by keeping up with maintenance. Sticking to your recommended servicing schedule is a good way to ensure your vehicle is in the best possible condition for resale.
What will I need for the inspection?

Please have the following items available for your inspection:

  • Vehicle registration certificate
  • Your current driver’s licence
  • Insurance documentation (if available)
  • Service history documentation (if available)
  • Loan information (if available)
  • All sets of keys
    Owner’s manual (if available)
  • Any spare tyres and/or tools
  • Warranty documentation (if available)
What cars are eligible for this service?
Dealerships will accept the majority of vehicle makes/models, depending on their condition. However, please note that your vehicle must be under 10 years old with an odometer reading under 200,000kms.
My vehicle isn’t eligible. What should I do next?
Contact your local Dealer to discuss alternative solutions, or browse Toyota’s Used Vehicles to see what price similar vehicles are selling for.
How long is my valuation valid for
Your Instant Valuation is an estimate only and requires a Dealer inspection to confirm your offer. As such, we recommend that you book the inspection with your preferred Dealership.
What happens after I receive my valuation?
You will receive an email with your Instant Valuation, and a team member from your preferred dealership will contact you to book an inspection. You can then bring the email with your valuation to the inspection appointment, and the final price will be confirmed based on the inspection.
Can I use my car’s valuation as a trade-in offer?
Yes, it’s possible that your Instant Valuation may be used as a trade-in offer. If you would like to trade in your used vehicle, your Dealer can assist you at your inspection appointment to explore trade-in options.
What’s the next step after getting my valuation?
After completing your Instant Valuation online, a representative from your preferred dealership will contact you to book an inspection and finalise your offer. After the final offer price is confirmed, payment will be organised with your preferred Dealership.
What documents are required if I decide to sell my car?
If you decide to sell your car to a Toyota Dealer, you will need to provide documents that show proof of your identity and proof of ownership. These include (but aren’t limited to) your vehicle registration certificate and current driver’s licence. We also recommend you provide your service history and insurance documentation, as these may improve the final valuation your Dealer is able to offer you.
What if I change my mind after getting my valuation?
The Instant Valuation is obligation-free. After completing it online there is no obligation to sell your car to us, nor are you obliged to proceed with a vehicle inspection and Dealer offer.
