how to value a car?

[pagey3]

does anyone here know anything about selling a car pivately or car valuation?

I have a r-reg ('98) peugeot 106 1.1 in very good condition, unleaded petrol, CD Player, tax and mot until september this year, but it has done 112,000 miles. what sort of price do you think I should be asking?

Try visiting www.parkers.co.uk and fill in one of their valuation thingies, it's free! Unlike most other ones.

Small cars with higher milage will knock the price down a bit, obviously the colour is a good factor too, if it's white people would steer well clear. Make sure it's well hoovered and as clean as you can make it look.

No time for washing it everyday? Just simply was the roof, bonnet and the bottoms of the doors, it's what most people see when they look at a car!

Luckily you have the 'Ideal for the first time driver' factor in your favour too.  Advertise the low insurance group and the economy and any gadgets it has like electric windows or sunroof, all are plusses that help a car sell.

Look around at local car dealers, you should get a rough idea there too, although some main dealers only price to sell cars that are 4 old years or less.

Have a look for similarly spec'ed and mileage cars on autotrader (www.autotrader.co.uk).

I'd expect you to get around 1500 for it to be honest, but don't take my word for it :)

Good Luck!

on the web site 'autotrader.co.uk' there is a red banner on the left handside of the home page which says 'how much', click on there, put in your vehicle details including mileage and it will give you a full list of valuations, i.e. private sale, part exchange, etc.
