Market evidence · Manufacturer pricing · Customs references

What is a car actually worth? Start with the evidence.

A used-car asking price is different from a manufacturer's historical list price, and both differ from an import-cost estimate. Explore CarFactBook's published Sri Lanka market snapshots first, then inspect an explicitly dated import scenario when enough official sources exist.

A small asking-price sample is not a sale-price prediction. Listings may be negotiated or withdrawn. Model year, condition, mileage, taxes and market dates materially affect price.

02 / Separate historical import reference

How import costs are calculated

This pilot currently has tax classifications for 1 country—Sri Lanka. It uses manufacturer reference prices and date-specific exchange rates. An expired official rate cannot generate a misleading present-day quote. Historic scenarios, when shown, are explicitly labelled.

CarFactBook Valuation Engine · Sri Lanka-only pilot

Explore documented import costs—not a used-car appraisal.

An import-cost scenario uses historical manufacturer prices and source-linked tax rules. It is not today's used-car price, a guaranteed quotation, or a Customs valuation. Out-of-date exchange rates cannot silently produce a current estimate.

The historic illustration uses the recorded Customs rate and is not a present-day landed-cost quote.

Enter a positive vehicle price and valid non-negative amounts. An empty or invalid amount cannot produce an estimate.

No current exchange rate for this calculation.

The calculator requires a source-backed reference price, an effective tax classification, positive inputs and an applicable official Customs exchange rate. Historic data remains viewable separately; never mistake it for a current car price.

03 / Understand the numbers

Three different values. Three different answers.

Local advertised asking price
Seller expectations from comparable listings; may differ from final sale value and depend on mileage, condition, year, and location.
Manufacturer list or launch price
Original new-car reference for a particular grade and year. A historical MSRP is not today's used-car market price.
Calculated import-reference cost
A formula using a dated reference price, freight, insurance, tax classification and applicable official exchange rate; not an official Customs assessment.

Sri Lanka Customs explains that motor-vehicle Customs values are determined by its Valuation Committee, and that duty rates depend on the correct HS classification. Before an import decision, consult Sri Lanka Customs import guidance and the current published exchange-rate schedule.
