We combine the information you've given us with data on market value, demand and seasonality and display a price guide.
Car prices don’t stand still – so neither do we. Guide prices are updated frequently – and car values can even change with the seasons. After all, convertibles are less fun in the winter – and heated seats aren’t a priority when the sun’s out!
To make sure you’re getting the most accurate price for your vehicle, we make sure our prices are updated every day. That way, you can be confident you’re working with the most up to date price, whether you’re buying or selling
What will you get to see when Car.co.uk provide a car value estimate?
Rather than give you one price, you’ll get a series of prices – because a vehicle’s value will differ depending on what you’re doing with it or who’s buying it. Your valuation will start with a ‘private guide price’ – this is the value you could expect if you’re buying the car from a private seller, or selling it yourself.
You’ll also get a ‘trade guide price’ – the price we’d expect the car to sell for if it was being sold by a dealer. Trade guide prices tend to be more than private prices – since traders often carry out checks on their vehicles and provide warranties if something goes wrong.
If you’re planning on trading your car in, you’ll also see the ‘part-exchange guide price’ – giving you an indication of how a trader will value your car against another car in their stock. Finally, you’ll get an ‘auction guide price’ – an idea of how much the car would be likely to sell for at a specialist vehicle auction.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or part-exchanging, our information will help you decide if you’re getting a good deal.
Some people simply want to know what their car is worth – but for others, working out a vehicle’s value means they can make their next motoring step fully informed. You may be in the market for a brand new motor and wondering what a fair offer is for your used car or merely looking for an updated valuation for your insurance. Whatever your needs, our online expert valuation tool can help.
Not sure if the car you’re looking at is a fair price? Don’t worry! With Car.co.uk, you’ll get both private and trade prices, so you can decide if you’re getting a good deal – or if you need to keep looking.
Pricing your car accurately doesn’t just mean you’ll get more interest; it also means you’re in an informed position if a potential buyer wants to negotiate. With Car.co.uk, you’ll get private sale and part-exchange prices.
Even if your car’s reached the end of the road, it doesn’t mean it’s worthless. We’ll provide scrap prices from our network of dismantlers – including a range of specialists who often pay more for certain makes and models.
No two cars are exactly the same – so, at Car.co.uk, we’ll look at a number of things which could increase the value of a vehicle:
A complete service history is a good indication that a car has been well looked after – and can help to increase resale value.
An average vehicle will have a few scrapes and scuffs. If the car’s spotless, it’s likely to be worth more than the average guide price.
Some cars are more desirable in certain colours. If the vehicle’s in a popular colour, it’s probably going to be worth more.
Manufacturers often offer a range of extras. Got heated seats? Sat nav? Upgraded alloys? Some extra features will add value to the vehicle.
Some vehicles are in better condition than others. At Car.co.uk, our price will reflect the factors that may reduce the car’s price slightly:
Missing parts or parts that don’t work as they should will mean a buyer will have to pay for repairs. This will usually mean the car is worth slightly less.
Generally, the fewer owners a car has had, the more it will be worth. If the car has changed hands more than average, it may reduce the value.
All cars pick up wear and tear as they’re used – but if there’s more than average for the year, the price is likely to come down a little.
Without an MOT or service history, it’s hard to tell if the car’s been well looked after. If one or both of these things are missing, it can impact the price
