 ComponentCalculationWhy it’s wrong
1Base Loss in Value10% 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
2Mileage 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
3Damage 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
