	Component	Calculation	Why it’s wrong
1	Base Loss in Value	10% of NADA retail	10% is arbitrary 10% could not logically apply to all cars 10% is too low NADA Retail is for dealers not consumers
2	Mileage Modifier	1 for 0 miles 0 for 100,000 miles Reversely proportional in between	Mileage is already a component of NADA retail Mileage used twice No evidence that cars with more than 100K lose no value Arbitrary and illogical
3	Damage Modifier	1 for severe structural damage 0 for no structural damage Proportional in between	Does not consider flood damage Does not consider body damage sans structural Does not consider airbag deployment Very subjective
