     When performing a valuation with a fully configured vehicle, you can, if necessary, overwrite some of the values used to calculate a vehicle's value. Refer to the following table:

     Field name	Explanation	Comments
     Mileage Category	Based on market and car type	Enter either the two digit mileage categories (first and second market) or expected mileage per year
     Price As New	Price of vehicle as new
     Base Value	System calculated value raw	Based on market observation - this is a raw value based on vehicle model and age before any corrections (mileage, equipment, etc)
     Market Value	System calculated replacement value	Replacement value of the vehicle based on market observations and corrections for mileage, equipment, etc
     Value Difference	Difference between buying and selling price - dealers point of view	Value influences buying price based on a system calculated selling price

     Note: If the value you enter in the Price as new field is greater than the value in the Base value field. when you click Save or Valuation, the system will display the following message: Attention! Base Value is bigger than Price as New! Click OK to close the warning and adjust values as necessary.

5. Click

   - Save to store values.

   - Reset. This clears all fields/resets to default values or restores all information to a previous save, un-doing any changes you made.

To continue with the long valuation, you must enter details in the other page tabs: Repairs, Aggregates, Special, Corrections. You can decide how much information to enter. You only need to enter information in one of these tabs to perform a long valuation but the more information you enter the more accurate the valuation will be. You can also enter information about the vehicle tires. You do this in the Vehicle Data page.

Notes:

- When you click Valuate, the system checks that the first registration date is no more than 12 months after the production end date of the vehicle. If it is more than 12 months after, the system will display the following error message: The first registration of the vehicle lies more than 12 months after the production end. To perform a valuation you must either edit the first registration date you entered or enter a base value. Please note that the system does not perform this check if you have already entered a base value.

- When you click Valuate, the system also checks the first registration date against the tariff date selected in the UST. If there is an inconsistency, the system will display the following error message: The selected tariff date doesn't fit with the First Registration date entered. You have the choice to cancel and either adjust the first registration date or the tariff date using UST. At the best you can try to force valuation. If you see this message, you have two choices, 1) Click Cancel and either change the first registration date or the tariff date and then perform the valuation again or 2) Click Force valuation to continue with the valuation.

- If you have already performed a vehicle valuation and have changed either the first registration date, Eurotax key or mileage, when you return to the Vehicle valuation page the system will display the following error message: The valuation input data has changed. You can choose whether to copy your changes to the Vehicle valuation page by clicking Update or ignore the changes and retain the current data by clicking Cancel. If you click Update, you should perform the valuation again.
