'How much is my car worth?'
Four Easy ways to value your car...
1. Glass's
Online Price Guide 
Condition adjusted valuation £3.50
Easiest, quickest and most accurate according to our friends
in the trade. Everybody in the trade knows the Glass's Guide,
it is the longest established price guide for the motor trade.
You can obtain dealership part exchange values (adjusted for
the condition of the car) and a dealership retail value for your
car. If you are selling privately, you can judge the value of
your car as being approximately half way between the Trade and
Retail prices, but your car will have to be in excellent condition. They
supply you with a printable PDF document as a valuation certificate
- as Glass's is the most trusted name in the business this can
be used when negotiating with buyers.
2. Parker's
Online Price Guide 
Free condition ajusted valuation on cars newer than
2000 - Condition adjusted valuation for older cars £3.49
for a days use.
Parkers is part of the same group as CAP who provide price guide
for the whole car industry, so you can rely on them to be accurate.
However, unlike the CAPs guide, Parker's is aimed at private
sellers (and buyers) and gives prices adjusted for mileage, condition
and extras.
3. Autotrader
Guide
Condition adjusted valuation £3.50
AutoTrader used to have a valuation guide which was backed by WhatCar,
but now they have switched to Glass's Guide and it no longer free,
but it is more accurate. When
selling your car it is essential to get an accurate valuation which
is condition ajusted for your specific model. As this is essentially
the same as Glass's (above) there is no real advantage in using it
-- in fact, I found the user interface didn't like working in my
browser.
4. Research
for Yourself
The most accurate method... And it's
FREE!
If you are selling privately, you will want the most accurate
valuation possible. Find out how to do it on page
