This is a market value estimate generated by a statistical model from realized auction and retail sales. It is not an appraisal under any state’s law and was not prepared by a licensed appraiser. Residual has no interest in the outcome and charges a flat fee.
The customers
Three jobs, one report. What changes is who you hand it to.
Attach the comparable sales and forward the report as is. It holds up when the other side reads it.
Close the fileA pre-loss value and salvage value with comparable sales, from one source.
Settle on a defensible figureA number with a stated method and a published accuracy record, from a source with no stake in the outcome. Flat fees, never a percentage of a settlement.
Hand it to opposing counselThe model
Our model weighs each past sale by how closely it matches your vehicle. On sales it has never seen, our estimate landed 40% closer to the actual sale price than the median for the same model at salvage auction, and 63% closer at retail.
It adjusts for your car. An aggregate measurement, like a median, treats every past sale the same. Our model adjusts each comparable sale for how it differs from yours in damage, miles, title and condition, and learns what each difference is worth from millions of sales. Every estimate lists those sales and why each one qualifies.
It doesn’t run out of data. A specific combination of year, model, damage and title often has only a handful of past sales, or none at all. Our model draws on related vehicles to fill the gap, and widens the range when the evidence is thin.
Its range is tested. We set our ranges to contain the sale price 9 out of 10 times. On sales our model has never seen, price estimates are within range 91.0% of the time. We check this separately for each price tier and level of detail, so it holds whether you enter a VIN or just a year and model.
The evidence
Knowing the full spectrum of prices matters. In reality, comparable sales among makes, models, and years can still be off by thousands. We give you the full range, so your number holds up.
Take a 2025 Honda Civic with front-end damage: it typically sold for $7,450 in August 2026 — but a quarter of sales came in $1,550 or more above that.
