Typical scenario

A valuation mixes vehicle offers with different price components

If a report combines vehicle prices, offers with tax stated separately and prices including compulsory dealer services, its result may use inconsistent price bases. The records may have been made at different times, so their contents must be linked to the particular conditions, dates and object under review.

What needs to be clarified

Review the components of quoted prices and their consistent adjustment to the stated valuation basis while separating confirmed data, calculation assumptions and questions that the supplied material cannot resolve.

Materials to prepare

  • Full dated advertisements with price conditions
  • Report with comparable table and adjustment formulas
  • Commercial offers itemising taxes and compulsory services

What to compare

Price components, sale conditions and recorded seller explanations are compared. The review checks for tax deducted twice or services included in only some comparables. Differences are recorded against the original records. The review checks whether an observation about one object or interval has been extended to the entire dispute without independent justification.

Possible outcome of the analysis

A price comparability table and calculation alternatives with disclosed assumptions may be prepared linked to the original material, with explicit assumptions and questions for further professional consideration.

Limits of the conclusions

The review determines neither tax obligations nor a guaranteed transaction price. Missing data are not replaced by assumptions; conclusions remain limited to documented circumstances and the method’s applicability to the question asked.
