Are there any good sites to see what my car is worth ?

I'm after selling it and looked on autotrader for a rough idea and it varies a lot, i remember years ago you could buy a book that give you a good idea just wondered if there was any sites ?

By the way its a Jag x type sport diesel 54 plate if anybody wants to buy it :wink:

Parker I think is as good as anyone, by book or net.

Try that link, should let you do a free glass guide valuation via the vauxhall website.

I'd say try Parkers Car Guide. Pretty decent. Try their website or buy the big book from a local newsagent

have you had a price of these clowns

silly price quoted then when you take it down the price goes down due to any signs of wear and tear

They did alright for me last year.

I used the price they quoted for our lass's old motor to get an extra £500 off the garage I was trading it in at.

I've no idea what they're actually like to sell to as I had no intention of doing so.

I've just done a couple of examples on their site, they offer CAP bottom book -10%. Unless your car is an absolute dog then they will be ripping you off big style.

Give me the full spec of the car; mileage, honest condition, year, specific model and I'll run it through CAP.

That's exactly what I thought, which is why I'd only ever sell to them as a last resort, but they are useful for giving you an idea of the rock bottom price that you should accept.

Overall it is a very tidy car, its done 96,000 miles. Its a Jaguar xtype 2.0d sport 54 plate.

Its got alloy wheels, half leather inside.

Its got a couple little marks on the body but nothing bad but the only down side and i dont know if it will reflect on the price is that i bought it as a cat d from the salvage yard and got it fixed, it was only front panel damage (new bumper and bonnet and lights).

I love the car and dont really want rid but i use my van 6 days a week and after our lass has had over 200 lessons and has yet to sit her test (no serious) i cant justify forking out for insurance and tax and test to use it once a week !

Cat D write off... you will get a third of its current list price.

I learnt that today at work. Good eh!!
