used car prices please?

Also sprach "clett" :-

I'd suggest rather than a book price you look on the web for similar cars and see how much they're going for in your area. Far more realistic.

Take the worst case scenario, i.e. the lowest figure. Al

searching on

for same make, model, age will give a good idea of current market value. search nationally to ignore any regional variation.

Don't forget to knock off a bit for what the real purchase price would be!

Parkers guide gives an idea, but if you search for your car on Trader on the net, you can see what private sellers and dealers are asking. Insurance companies will offer bottom book as a first offer. You have to negotiate the top value for the car's exceptional condition,fsh, low mileage, new tyres etc. DaveK.

That should have been Auto Trader DaveK

Insurance co will only offer the trade in price which can be half of hat you would pay from a dealer! Haggle as much as possible

good luck, Steve
