Anchor to the brand first
Then adjust
Brand is the biggest factor: tens of thousands between a premium and a mass-market car of the same age and mileage. Start from the badge, then adjust.
Deduct age and mileage separately
They stack
About RM 2,649 a year and RM 1,785 per 10,000 km, applied on top of each other. An old, high-mileage car is marked down twice.
Flag cars far from the estimate
Bargain or mistake
A car priced well below its estimate is a bargain to buy; well above is a mistake to fix. Use the estimator as the anchor, then look closer at the gaps.
