Question 1

How does Truwo calculate the fair price of a used car?

Accepted Answer

Truwo benchmarks against live market listings. The floor price is what dealers pay to buy your car, backed by real buy-back data. The ceiling price is what dealers sell similar cars for. Your fair price is anywhere in that range.

Question 2

Is the Truwo price check free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. No signup, no phone number, no spam. Just paste a listing link or enter your registration number.

Question 3

What is the floor price vs ceiling price?

Accepted Answer

The floor price is the minimum, what a dealer would pay you if you sold your car to them. The ceiling price is the maximum, what dealers are currently listing similar cars for. A fair deal for a buyer is anywhere between floor and ceiling.

Question 4

Which sources does Truwo benchmark against?

Accepted Answer

Truwo benchmarks against live dealer listings across the market, plus buy-back price data to determine what dealers actually pay sellers.

Question 5

Can I check price using my car registration number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter your vehicle registration number (e.g. DL01AB1234) and Truwo will automatically identify your car make, model, variant, year and fuel type, then find comparable listings.
