Sat Nav Resale Value

A used sat nav typically sells for between £15 and £70, with most changing hands around £42. Dedicated sat navs have largely been replaced by phones, so map currency is what determines whether one is usable.

The short version

  • Typical range: £15 – £70
  • Biggest single factor: condition — see the table below
  • Category: Electronics
  • Cost to sell on WishThrift: nothing, at any price

What a used sat nav is worth by condition

Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for sat navs, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.

ConditionTypical priceWhat it means
New with Tags£70Unused, tags or seals intact
Like New£59Barely used, no visible wear
Good£45Light signs of use, complete and working
Fair£31Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part
For Parts£17Not working or incomplete, sold as seen

These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.

What raises the value of a sat nav

  • Lifetime map update entitlements
  • Recent map versions already installed
  • Complete with mount, charger and case
  • Recognised navigation brands

What lowers it

  • Maps years out of date with no update path
  • Discontinued devices with no map support
  • Missing mounts and chargers
  • Failed touchscreens and batteries

How to work out what yours is worth

  1. Check the map version and whether updates are still available
  2. Confirm the mount and charger are present
  3. Test the touchscreen and battery

Once you have those three answers you can place your own sat nav on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions

Are sat navs still worth selling?

For modest sums, mainly to drivers who prefer not to use a phone. Map currency is what decides usability.

Do lifetime maps transfer?

It varies by maker. Check before advertising it, since it is a significant part of the value.

Does the mount matter?

Yes. Mounts are device-specific and a sat nav without one is much less useful.
