What affects a Caterpillar 980's value
Hours, tire condition, transmission health, and bucket/coupler setup drive value; quick-couplers and ride control add a premium.
Two Caterpillar 980 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 980
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 980 yet, we say so, we never show a made-up number. As people in the industry contribute real sales, the value gets sharper automatically.
