It can be very difficult to figure out how much your car is worth when selling it. Price estimates can be made by using websites like Parkers, Auto Trader and eBay, but even then it’s often a greater pain to work out the price that will actually mean you make the sale. A starting price that’s too high will postpone the sale of your car, but go low and you risk losing potential money. Alternatively, you can ask a dealer what they will offer for a part-exchange, but the valuation will usually be less than the car’s worth because they need to make a profit. At WeWantAnyCar, we have tried to make things simple for you to get an estimate of how much your car is worth.
