What is the BOVAG Koerslijst and is that what my car is worth?
The BOVAG Koerslijst, developed together with the ANWB, is mainly used by affiliated car businesses to determine a benchmark price. You enter make, model, mileage and age and get back a trade value, aimed at what a dealer would pay for the car.
We show the other side: what comparable cars are currently costing on the open market, with no dealer margin built in. That's the price you can expect if you sell yourself, not if you trade in.

Why a formula falls short
A depreciation formula works with list price, age and mileage. What it does not include: current supply and demand. And that fluctuates considerably.
- ▸ Diesels. After the nitrogen crisis, demand for diesels dropped sharply. The formula did not keep up. Buyers paid less; the price list said otherwise.
- ▸ Electric cars. High demand and limited supply push popular EV prices above the formula. Subsidies and lease rules amplify that effect.
- ▸ Popular models. A Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Yaris retains its value better than the average formula suggests, purely due to consistent demand.
Only when both add up can you say something meaningful about the value: the price and the mileage both need to be in line with what the market asks right now.

Frequently asked questions
The BOVAG Koerslijst is a tool that estimates a car's trade value based on make, model, mileage and age. Affiliated car businesses use it as a benchmark when buying in stock.
Not if you're selling it yourself. The koerslijst gives a trade-in value: what a dealer is willing to pay. On the open market the price is generally higher, since there's no dealer margin in between.
