How well does a Smart hold its value?
Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Smart actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):
We're still building enough Smart listings across model years for a full brand depreciation curve — open a specific model for its value by year.
How far Smart prices spread
Two cars of the same year and badge rarely cost the same — trim, condition and seller move the number. Across Smart, the gap between cheap and dear runs about 53% of the median. The band shows the low-to-high range, the line is the median.
Trade-in, private-party & dealer price
Every Smart has three prices. Our low–median–high range maps to what a dealer pays you, what you'd get selling it yourself, and what a lot charges — see current used-market prices across all models too:
On Smart listings the dealer retail price (136% of median) runs about 2.1× the trade-in offer (64%) — the gap you're negotiating.
Trading in or selling your Smart?
Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.
