Compared to cars in normal condition, those in excellent condition are on average 20.9% more expensive, those in spared condition 10.7% more expensive, those in undamaged condition 18.5% more expensive and those in nearly new condition 22.2% more expensive than the benchmark. The price of damaged, faulty cars is on average 59.7% lower on the same benchmark.
