    Car Valuation websites

    Any tips? (not we buy any car type ones)

    Am thinking of getting rid of mine as it's just sitting on the drive since I went back to work in London

      You may be in luck as values of used cars have gone up due to low supply, mine is the same as it was 18 months ago yet it was showing at about a grand less only 3 months ago.

        I just go to autotrader, do a search on my model and year, and check the listings for the same fit out and milage. I'd price mine at the same or very close.

        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Ad in the local rag tbh. Get a parkers guide, get the A1 price and add £100 (people will haggle, and if you knock a couple of hundred off the asking they will feel like they got a deal, and you got £100 quid of the A1 price which aint arf bad)

            DO NOT BOTHER WITH EBAY. They charge a fortune.

            Don't use your house phone number for the add. Mobile can be turned off once the car is sold, or set to silent ring.
            Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              Yes this was on the national news just last week, many 2nd-hand cars have gone up in value considerably in the last few months... apparently that's never happened before IIRC.

                You might more for it if you advertise in the sarf east. I've seen very old cars getting good money that would get scrapped around here.

                ALthough currently the market is pretty tough, cars are going for well under parkers and what car book prices if they raise any interest at all. For the last 12 months or so Parkers et al have been very unrealiable.

                Some cars and tend to be nearly new, but bear in mind up until recently it was hard to get even the trade price which also never happened before as long as I can remember so really they've have risen from a very bad place.

                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  That's very poor advice

                  A/ Local papers have low circulation and the ad does not run for very long
                  B/ Parkers top price will result in no calls
                  C/ Ebay has large coverage and has a low fixed fee for classified ads
                  and the advert runs for a month

                    A/ Sold all my cars bar one (ebay) through local ads. Tonnes of calls. Shifted really quickly.
                    B/ You'd be surprised. This will still be cheaper than a dealer. I have mates in the used car game so no just about every trick in the book.
                    C/ I thought that. I sold a car on ebay for around £350, and had to pay them £70. They take a percentage of the sale value.

                    HTH
