    calling used car dealers

    has someone got a 'book' they can check a price for me?
    alternatively, how on the mark are the online price calculators like 'honest john'?
    cheers

    I'm sure Sticko will come through with the goods. I can also provide some CAP data if required. Reg Number and mileage via a PM please and I'll answer on the morrow.

    Really depends what model of car you have and price bracket £1000 £100,000 etc... Main two are Cap & Glasses, valuations can vary wildly from the two for the same model though, not really giving you a 'true' market value (can differ by thousands at the upper end) Autotrader valuation or even tap the details into webuyanycar might be more beneficial, depending on what you're looking for 'Real Market' or 'Trade' value. Even then there can be a lot more variables that would change the valuation, condition, specification, high spec car adding quite a lot of value etc...

    Hi guys, I don't want to send any unsolicited PMs but if you don't mind I am just about to trade in my car and an accurate valuation would be much appreciated. Is there any chance either of you could help me out please?

    Cheers.

    Have a look on AutoTrader , PistonHeads and Top Marques sites for similar cars. Work out what is a competitive retail price for your car and then trim a bit off that to give the dealer a reasonable margin, remembering that they pay VAT on the difference between their purchase and selling price. CAP and Glass Guide prices can vary widely and are not to be relied on , very much depends on the car.They can differ by up to 20 % !!!

    To add, I agree with notnowkato that Glass Guide prices aren't great but CAP prices are derived from auction data (BCA) and are bang on IME.

    Autotrader should give you a good estimate. Then get a price from we buy any car.com which will give you a rock bottom trade price.

    You'd be surprised with WBAC they work off of BCA (who own WBAC) auction prices. Run of the mill models, Civic, focus etc... will be low prices as the market is saturated. Anything a bit rarer, high spec they will offer competive quotes majority of the time a percentage over the trade figures (Cap&Glasses) plenty of times I've priced a px and WBAC have been higher.

    WBAC offered me £9,400 last week for my Freelander and I traded it at £11,000 against a Mercedes at £18,500.

    Not saying they are gonna be competitive on everything. Mercedes could be 'over allowing ' giving more for your P/X, basically discounting the Merc by giving you more for your car. Things like -Audi Q7's with Panoramic Glass sunroofs, full spec Range Rovers etc... WBAC monitor auction prices, so anything making well above cap figures going through the block(auction hall) will be adjusted on their website when quoting prices. Just really depends on how popular the model is you're part exchanging or selling.
