What affects a Caterpillar 349's value
Meter hours and undercarriage wear are the biggest value drivers, followed by year, thumb/coupler attachments, and whether it has had major hydraulic or final-drive work.
Two Caterpillar 349 machines of the same year can differ by tens of thousands of dollars depending on meter hours, service history, attachments, and where they're sold. That's why a real market value has to come from actual comparable sales, not a formula.
How MachVerity values a Caterpillar 349
We take real, verified sales of the same model, adjust each for year, hours and condition, and take the median. If we don't have at least three verified sales for a Caterpillar 349 yet, we say so, we never show a made-up number. As people in the industry contribute real sales, the value gets sharper automatically.
